Grilled Cod Recipe
Grilled cod with a simple seasoning is ready in just 15 minutes! Fresh or frozen cod fillets work great on the grill with just a little oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 4- ounce cod fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Chopped parsley for serving
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Pat the cod dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle it with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder, then rub it with the olive oil. Leave at room temperature while preheating the grill.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Coat grill grates with olive oil.
- Place cod onto the preheated grill. Grill for 4 minutes, then use a spatula to carefully lift the cod off the grill. If it feels sticky, allow it 1-2 more minutes until it releases easily. Flip the cod and cook until the cod starts to flake and reaches internal temperature of 130°F, about 2-4 more minutes. Use a spatula to carefully remove the cod off the grill.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then serve with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
Tip: Take extra care to grease the grill grates this makes all the difference in your cod sticking to the grill!
Storage: This grilled cod is best served fresh off the grill. However, if you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Leftover grilled cod can be reheated in a 350°F oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, it can be reheated in the microwave, but it's likely to become rubbery.
Freezing: Grilled cod can be frozen for up to three months. I like to wrap each fillet individually in plastic wrap and then place them all in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat, thaw the fish overnight in the fridge and then reheat it according to the instructions above.
