Yummy grilled cod with Cajun seasoning. I baste the 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)

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
Season both sides of cod fillets with Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set fillets aside on a plate.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Grill fillets on the preheated grill until browned and flaky, about 3 minutes per side; baste frequently with butter mixture while grilling.

Step 5
Allow fillets to rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before serving.
