This delicious grilled cod is slathered in a savory butter sauce and then perfectly grilled for a light smoky flavor. It makes for a quick and easy 15-minute dinner on a weeknight or a lovely holiday weekend grilling project.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. (If grates are dirty scrub them well after the grill is fully preheated.) Oil the grill grates well.
In a small bowl whisk together melted butter, chives or green onion and Cajun seasoning.
Drizzle both sides of each fish filet with olive oil.
Place fish onto oiled grated and use a brush to brush on several layers of the butter sauce. After about 3 minutes the fish will be starting to turn opaque and flaky. Use a firm, quick motion to slide the spatula under the fillet and flip it over. Baste the other side with butter sauce and continue grilling about 3 more minutes. The fish should be turning golden brown and the translucent look will be gone. As it cooks the fish will start to appear flaky which is a good indicator of doneness.
Allow Cod to rest off heat for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with lemon wedges, and tartar sauce.
Notes
This is not a spicy or Cajun flavored recipe. Using a small amount like this basically gives you a good quality seasoning salt effect. If you want to switch it out you can use a good quality sea salt or seasoning salt instead. Consider grinding a bit of black pepper on too if you make the switch.
