Spiced Cod Fillet On The Grill Recipes

PERFECT GRILLED COD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Bring the cod to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
• Pat the cod dry with a clean towel. Rub it with the olive oil and sprinkle it with the kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Then cover it with the homemade blackened seasoning or seafood seasoning on all sides.
• Grill the cod over indirect heat for 4 minutes, until it releases from the grates. Flip and cook another 2 to 4 minutes, until the internal temperature is 130 degrees (right when the cod starts to flake when pulled with a fork). Allow to rest for a few minutes, then serve.

GRILLED COD

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. The target temp is about 400 degrees F.
• Pat the cod dry and place on a plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In a small, microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or a small saucepan on the stove, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice.
• If cooking the fish in foil packets: Place each piece of cod in the center of a large, double-stacked piece of aluminum foil (the pieces should each be about 18 inches square). Brush both sides of the cod liberally with the butter/lemon juice mixture. Bring two opposite edges of the foil up and towards the center so that they meet, then fold them down over each other to make a seam in the center. Fold in the edges to seal so that you create a packet. Leave some space inside of each packet for air to circulate. If not using a foil packet, brush the fish on the plate.
• Prepare the sauce: in a small food processor, place the cilantro and garlic. Pulse several times, until the garlic is minced.
• Add the lemon juice, olive oil, chili, oregano, and salt and pulse again to combine.
• Add the yogurt, then blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve the fish.
• When ready to grill: if you are not using the foil packet, immediately before grilling the fish, oil the grill VERY well so that the fish doesn't stick (if using a packet, no need to oil). Cook the fish on the first side without disturbing it for 6 minutes, then carefully flip (the fish should release easily; if it doesn't, cook it a little longer).
• Cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes on the second side, or until the cod is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145 F. DO NOT flip the fish back over. If you are using a foil packet, no need to flip the fish; cook it for 8 to 10 minutes total, until the fish is completely cooked through.
• Remove cod from the grill. Serve with the green sauce and an additional sprinkle of fresh herbs.

PAN FRIED COD

Steps:

• Pat the cod fillets very dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil a 10-inch or similar cast-iron or heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shiny (but not yet smoking), gently lower the fish into the oil, moving away from your body with your motion in case the oil splatters. Lower the heat to medium.
• Let the fish cook undisturbed on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes, until the underside is nicely golden.
• Gently flip the cod over. A flexible, thin metal spatula (such as a fish spatula) works best. The cod might stick a bit at first, but work gently and firmly and you'll get it. Place the butter in the pan. With a spoon, spread the pat around the fish. Tilt the pan away from you so that the butter pools, then baste the fish with the butter a few times.
• Continue cooking on the other side until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 2 additional minutes.
• Sprinkle with fresh herbs and squeeze the lemon over the top. Enjoy immediately, with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.

PAPRIKA-SPICED GRILLED COD AND PARTY-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MANGO SALSA!

Steps:

• Stir the mango, tomato, cucumber, garbanzo beans, lime juice, lemon juice, jalapeno pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon basil in a bowl; season with kosher salt. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Season the cod with the paprika, salt, and pepper; brush with the canola oil.
• Cook the cod on the preheated grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Quickly warm the tortillas on the grill just before the cod is finished. Serve the cod in the warm tortillas topped with the mango salsa.

SPICY BAKED COD FILLETS

Steps:

• Mix together in a large bowl the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori paste, tomato puree, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, egg, cayenne pepper (adjust amount to suit your taste), coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper. Place the fish fillets into the marinade and turn to coat each side. Cover bowl with plastic film and refrigerate for an hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Use one teaspoon each of the butter and olive oil to coat a shallow baking dish large enough to accommodate the fish in a single layer.
• Remove fish from marinade and place in baking dish. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and dot with the remaining butter. Bake in preheated over until golden brown on top, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Place fish on warm serving platter and garnish with cilantro, lemon wedges, and onions.

SPICED COD FILLET ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Dust cod with cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne.
• Spread mustard over fish.
• If grilling use the butter to baste, this of course means you'll need to melt the butter.
• Grill for about 3 minutes per side.
• You could alternatively broil for 3-4 minutes per side in the oven.
• In this case, place the fish on a broiling pan and dot each fillet with butter before putting it in the oven (on broil).
• Either way the fish flesh will be white, firm and flake easily with a fork when done.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

CAJUN SPICED COD

Steps:

• Spread the cajun spice on a plate and cover both sides of the cod fillets. Cut the sweet potato into chunks and cover with water, boil until soft; be careful not too overcook as they can turn brown.
• once the potato has cooked mash with butter and season. i cooked the broccoli in a pan of hot water for about 5 minutes until just tender.
• When your broccoli is about halfway heat the olive oil in the pan, add the ginger so it starts to soften and season the pan. Add the fillets and cook on each side for about 2 minutes, turn carefully as they become quite soft. When cooked serve with a scattering of the spring onions.

GRILLED COD

Steps:

• 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 with Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set fish aside on a plate. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in lemon juice and green onion, and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
• Place cod onto oiled grates and grill until fish is browned and flakes easily, about 3 minutes per side; baste with butter mixture frequently while grilling. Allow cod to rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before serving.
