Cod With Tarragon and Potatoes image

Found in the Best Simple Recipes cookbook. A tangy mustard-mayonnaise mixture seasoned with tarragon and garlic which is the "glue" for the bread-crumb topping (which uses panko crumbs for more of a crunch) while parcooking the potatoes in the microwave first before baking them with the fish helps make this recipe ready in less than 30 minutes. Haddock or halibut fillets are good alternatives for the cod.
