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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cod fillets you can find. Fresh cod fillets should be firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the cod fillets dry before marinating them. This will help the marinade to penetrate the fish more evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give the cod fillets their flavor, so be sure to use a marinade that you enjoy. There are many different marinade recipes available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Marinate the cod fillets for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. Marinating the fish for too long can make it tough.
  • Cook the cod fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately. Cod fillets are best served hot, so be sure to cook them just before you're ready to eat them.
