Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Grilled Cod with Lemon Butter.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and prepping your grill for a flavorful experience.
Step 2
Arrange approximately 15 charcoal briquettes in a pyramid shape within the grill.
Step 3
For an extra kick, you can drizzle them with lighter fluid and allow it to soak for a minute before igniting.
Step 4
Once lit, let the flames dance for about 10 minutes, then spread the briquettes evenly and wait until they are cloaked in a fine layer of white ash.
Step 5
Don’t forget to lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
While the grill heats up, season both sides of your cod fillets generously with Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper, then set them aside on a plate, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 7
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt some butter and stir in fresh lemon juice along with chopped green onions, cooking until the onions soften, which should take around 3 minutes.
Step 8
Once your grill is ready, place the seasoned cod fillets on the grates.
Step 9
Grill them for about 3 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the buttery mixture until the fish turns a beautiful golden brown and flakes easily.
Step 10
After grilling, remove the fillets and let them rest off the heat for about 5 minutes to lock in the moisture.
Step 11
Now, you’re ready to savor your delicious Cajun Grilled Cod, a dish that brings the vibrant flavors of the South right to your table! Enjoy every bite!.
