Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Spray a Pyrex baking dish lightly with vegetable spray and lay the cod fillets in the dish.

Season the cod fillets with salt and black pepper.

Bake the cod in the oven for 12 minutes.

While the cod is baking, prepare the lemon zest, using about 1 tablespoon.

Chop a lemon and set it aside.

In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, the lemon zest, and a squirt of lemon juice. Set this sauce aside.

After 5 minutes of baking, drizzle a little white wine (Pinot Grigio) over the cod to help it steam.

After 12 minutes, spread the prepared mayonnaise sauce over the top of the cod fillets.

Crush Ritz crackers and spread them evenly over the mayonnaise sauce on the cod.

Return the cod to the oven and bake for an additional 3 minutes until the crackers are golden brown.

Remove the cod from the oven and use a fish spatula to serve it on a plate.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cod before serving.
