Spiced Cod Fillet on the Grill

"Cod is a delicious fish, with a mild flavour and white firm flesh. After buying cod, (and most fish in general), always rinse off the fish with cool water when you get home and pat dry and then rewrap. Store it in the coldest part of the fridge and for no more then 2 days."

directions

  • Dust cod with cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne.
  • Spread mustard over fish.
  • If grilling use the butter to baste, this of course means you'll need to melt the butter.
  • Grill for about 3 minutes per side.
  • You could alternatively broil for 3-4 minutes per side in the oven.
  • In this case, place the fish on a broiling pan and dot each fillet with butter before putting it in the oven (on broil).
  • Either way the fish flesh will be white, firm and flake easily with a fork when done.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

  1. It was fine the first day, not anything to write home about so I would only give it 2.5 stars but the second day I used the leftovers for fish tacos and it tasted much better. It really makes a difference what you pair it with. Now a 4 star. Thanks.
     
  2. My Husband and I gave this recipe a try with a twist. We added a few ingredients and left out the mustard. We added Onion Powder, Celery Salt, White Pepper, Sugar, Black Pepper, Corriander, and Paprika...made it into a dry rub...and it was awsome. Just the right amount of hot to add flavor without the over powering flavor of the Mustard which some didnt seem to like.
     
  3. My family did not enjoy this recipe. The mustard was at times very overwhelming. Sorry!
     
  4. This was absolutely the best. The cumin just made it. So nice nice and flakey. We just loved it. Thanks for posting.
     
  5. We really enjoyed this recipe. I would use a little less cayenne next time but it was still very enjoyable.

Tweaks

  1. I had to modify this a bit, because I need to go grocery shopping really badly. I used old fashioned whole grain dijon mustard instead of the spicy (it was all I had) and I used garlic butter rather than just butter (it was all I had). A different, refreshing taste from blah fish. Thanks for the recipe, I enjoyed it. Next time I'll try to follow the recipe a bit closer! I mean, go grocery shopping....
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm male, early 30's and live with my longtime girlfriend. I do the cooking, she does the baking. We both do the eating. ;^) What else? I have a spicy food addiction and have over 30 hot sauces taking up too much space in my fridge. I also have hard time not buying any cook book that I find that has great pictures - especially if I'm hungry. Many of them I never use for more than inspiration... looking through them gets me thinking about what I would like to make or eat.
