Grilled Cod
Yummy grilled cod with Cajun seasoning. I baste the fish fillets with a mixture of melted butter, lemon juice, and green onion as it cooks on the grill.
Ingredients
-
2 (8 ounce) fillets cod, cut in half
-
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
-
½ teaspoon lemon pepper
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 lemon, juiced
-
2 tablespoons chopped green onion (white part only)
Description
-
Stack about 15 charcoal briquettes into a grill in a pyramid shape. If desired, drizzle coals lightly with lighter fluid and allow to soak for 1 minute before lighting coals with a match. Allow fire to spread to all coals, about 10 minutes, before spreading briquettes out into the grill; let coals burn until a thin layer of white ash covers the coals. Lightly oil the grates.
-
Season both sides of cod fillets with Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set fillets aside on a plate.
-
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in lemon juice and green onion, and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
-
Grill cod fillets on the preheated grill until browned and flaky, about 3 minutes per side, basting frequently with butter mixture while grilling.
-
Allow cod to rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before serving.

Serve and enjoy!
