Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

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)

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.

Lemon Herb Marinade image

This easy Lemon Herb Marinade can be whipped up in 10 minutes. Zesty herbs and simple ingredients work together to elevate chicken, fish or pork. Feel free to switch up the herbs you use in this Lemon Herb Marinade. For example, for a lemon-rosemary marinade, consider substituting parsley for the basil and rosemary for the thyme. A good rule of thumb when mixing up marinades is, for fish, chicken and pork, light herbal notes tend to work well. This lemon and herb marinade is not to be missed.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 two-and-a-half-pound cod fillet, with skin
5 teaspoons salt (plus more for seasoning)
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper (plus more for seasoning)
3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 cup olive oil (plus more for sauteing)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Corn Pudding Corn Pudding
Red-Pepper Coulis Red-Pepper Coulis

Steps:

  • Season cod with salt and pepper. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  • In a blender or bowl of a food processor, combine chives, parsley, cilantro, and olive oil into a thick paste. Remove cod from plastic wrap. Pat with a paper towel to remove excess salt and moisture. Cut cod into four portions. Transfer to a baking dish, and coat with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove excess marinade from cod, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Add enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan. When the oil is hot, add cod. Shake pan to make sure the fillets are not sticking. Add butter, a little at a time, shaking the pan so that the butter slides under the cod and combines with the oil. Saute until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to oven, and roast until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately over corn pudding, and garnish with red-pepper coulis.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cod fillets. Fresh cod has a mild, sweet flavor that is perfect for marinating. It is also a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals.
  • Choose a marinade that complements the flavor of cod. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so you can find one that suits your taste. Some popular options include lemon-herb marinade, soy-ginger marinade, and Mediterranean marinade.
  • Marinate the cod for at least 30 minutes. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the fish and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the cod for up to 24 hours, but no longer, or the fish will start to break down.
  • Cook the cod over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out. Cod is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently.
  • Serve the cod with a simple side dish. This will allow the flavor of the fish to shine through. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Cod is a versatile fish that can be cooked in many different ways. Marinating cod is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the fish. By following the tips above, you can create a delicious and healthy cod dish that your family and friends will love.
