Grilled Cod in Foil
This is what relaxed grilling looks like... and the heavenly pleasure you experience from just one bite of this Grilled Cod in Foil is simply extraordinary! No kidding, with just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes on the grill, you're about to grill up perfect, flaky cod with hardly any effort.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless Skinless Cod Filets (fresh or thawed)
- 1/4 cup Salted Butter (1/2 stick, melted)
- 1 Fresh Lemon (juiced)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 tsp *optional: Flat Leaf Parsley or Italian Parsley
Instructions
- Gather your grilled cod in foil recipe ingredients.
- Rinse each cod filet under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Spray generously sized sheets of aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray (1 sheet per each cod filet)
- Lay filets on individual sheets of aluminum foil, then drizzle each with Butter and Lemon Juice.
- Season each filet with Parsley, Salt and Pepper to taste.
- Then loosely fold foil over filets to hold liquid inside.
- Cook for approximately 10 minutes on grill at 350 degrees. (no need to flip)
- Your cod will be done when the filet flakes easily with a fork, and the internal temperature is between 130 - 135 degrees.
- I recommend using a meat thermometer to closely monitor your cod. It is very easy to overcook cod. Undercooked cooked cod will be mushy in texture and translucent in color. Overcooked cod will be tough and chewy.
- Once your filets are done, remove the filets from the foil and immediately discard the foil before serving. (to trap the odors and mess)
- Serve topped with optional dried parsley flakes and some Homemade Tartar Sauce or Basil Pesto. You'll enjoy no mess, no odors, just mouthwatering delicious grilled cod!
