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.

MARINATED COD FILLETS W/POTATO SCALES



Marinated Cod Fillets W/Potato Scales image

This easy-to-prepare recipe from the *Dinner Party* cookbook of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook series is part of a menu titled *Slimmers Delight* & turns ordinary cod fish fillets into an elegant masterpiece! *Enjoy* (Time does not include time to marinate fish fillets)

Provided by twissis

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

30 ounces cod fish fillets (6 5-oz & relatively thin fillets)
12 baby new potatoes (washed & left unpeeled)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh dill (chopped)

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
  • Remove any skin from fish fillets. Place fillets in a shallow dish & pour the marinade over them. Cover & refrigerate at least 4-6 hrs or overnight.
  • When ready to assemble dish, preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Drain marinade from fish fillets & reserve. Pat top side of fish fillets dry w/paper towels & place them in 9x13 in baking dish sprayed w/PAM.
  • Using the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a very sharp knife ... slice the potatoes into uniformly thin slices no thicker than 1/8-inch.
  • Overlap potato slices on the surface of the fish fillets & drizzle reserved marinade over the "potato scales".
  • Bake fish fillets (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes or till tender (If the potatoes & fish appear to be done & you want a crisper texture or browner color, put the fillets under your broiler for a cpl of minutes).
  • NOTES: 1) The thickness of the fillets & potato slices + the tendency of oven temps to vary can cause cooking times to vary as well -- 2) Although written for the use of cod, IMO other white fish varieties will also work well (sole, flounder, snapper, haddock, etc) -- 3) Patting the tops of the fillets dry is very important as it prevents the potato slices from slipping out of position once cooking begins.

LEMON HERB MARINADE



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.

Tips for Marinating Cod Loin:

1. Keep It Simple: Cod loin is a delicate fish, so it doesn't need an overpowering marinade. A simple combination of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper can bring out its natural flavors perfectly. 2. Balance the Flavors: When creating a marinade, aim for a balance of flavors. For example, if you're using citrus, add a touch of sweetness with honey or maple syrup. If you're using herbs, add a bit of spice with garlic or ginger. 3. Don't Overdo It: Cod loin only needs to be marinated for a short time, usually 30 minutes to an hour. Over-marinating can result in a mushy texture. 4. Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your marinade. Use fresh herbs, citrus juice, and olive oil for the best results. 5. Marinate in the Refrigerator: Always marinate cod loin in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth.

Conclusion:

Marinating cod loin is a great way to add flavor and moisture to this mild-tasting fish. By following the tips above, you can create a marinade that perfectly complements the delicate flavor of cod loin. Experiment with different flavor combinations to find your favorite marinade recipe. With a little practice, you'll be able to create delicious and memorable cod loin dishes that will impress your friends and family.
