Zesty Baked Orange Roughy Recipe

I've been baking fish like this for years. Even with a little butter, it's relatively low fat, especially if you use non fat mayo. The mayo mixture is also quite nice as a dipping sauce for artichokes. Also, any white fish can be substituted. And if you have some herbs on hand, add them either to the dipping sauce or the mayo mixture.
