"I needed an easy recipe to cook on the grill during an excruciating kitchen remodel (18 months without a kitchen). I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, so I created this recipe"

ingredients

2 lbs cod
1 lemon
¹⁄₄ ounce tarragon
¹⁄₄ ounce chives
¹⁄₂ teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch salt (pink Himalayan)
1 pinch black pepper

directions

Place individual fillets on a large piece of aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons butter and 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and garlic, and heat bowl until melted.
Spread butter and oil mixture evenly over each fillet.
Distribute the sprigs of tarragon evenly over each fillet. (I had two fillets, so I put about 2-3 sprigs on each.).
Sprinkle chopped chives over each fillet.
Cover each fillet with a slice of lemon cut in half. Cut remaining lemon into wedges to serve guests in case they want more squeezed lemon juice.
Grind fresh black pepper and pink Himalayen salt or kosher salt over each fillet to taste.
Drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil over each fillet.
Seal foil around fillets as airtight as possible.
Grill or bake at 400°F (High Grill) for about 10-12 minutes depending on thickness (about 10 minutes per inch). Test that each fillet is at 145°F.
Serve with rice.

Tweaks

I reduced the amount of lemon I had originally used because I found it was way too much. You’ll still see that the photos have 3 slices on each. Trust me… too much.

I have been working with families for over 18 years, and I have taught as a licensed parent and family educator in the state of Minnesota. I currently work in St. Paul Public Schools (District 625) working with families whose children were aged birth to 5 years old. One of my favorite ages to work with has to be those adorable 3-year-olds who tell it like it is-they crack me up! My teaching is built upon a philosophy of critical reflection, strength-based learning strategies, meeting families where they are at in their everyday living, and using a holistic approach to understand parenting challenges in the real world. My doctorate is in Education: Curriculum and Instruction-Family, Youth, and Community from the University of Minnesota. I had a strong focus on parent and family education, and my research was focused on teens and youth. I have explored children and teen's peer group formation, and my Ph.D. dissertation examined parent-teen conflict and argument from the teen perspective. My dissertation was published in book form under the title, "What Are Teens Thinking? Parent-Teen Conflict and Argument From the Teen Perspective." In addition to teaching parents, I dedicated many years to teaching up and coming parent educators, family life educators, and early childhood educators as an adjunct faculty at both the University of Minnesota and Concordia University
