Since the size of the cod carcass can reach fairly large sizes (in the fishery, individuals with a length of 40-80 cm in length predominate), it can be prepared entirely in the form of carcasses without a head, in the form of steaks, in the form of separate side fillets or in the form of portioned fillets .

From the top on the onion substrate lay cod steaks (of course, the fish must be previously thawed, washed and dried with a napkin).
Make the sauce. Mayonnaise (cream or sour cream) season with ground black pepper and nutmeg. Filter the garlic-infused wine through a strainer and add it to mayonnaise. We also pour a little lemon juice.
