Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 35 mins


• stack about 15 charcoal briquettes into a grill in a pyramid shape. if desired, drizzle coals lightly with lighter fluid and allow to soak for 1 minute before lighting coals with a match. allow fire to spread to all coals, about 10 minutes, before spreading briquettes out into the grill; let coals burn until a thin layer of white ash covers the coals. lightly oil the grates.
• season both sides of cod with seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper. set fish aside on a plate. heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in lemon juice and green onion, and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
• place cod oiled grates and grill until fish is browned and flakes easily, about 3 minutes per side; baste with butter mixture frequently while grilling. allow cod to rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before serving.
