Grilled Cod
Grilled Cod features tender, flaky fillets seasoned with Cajun spice and lemon pepper, then basted on the grill with a buttery lemon and green onion sauce. The fish picks up a smoky char while staying moist, with bright citrus cutting through gentle heat. Ideal for a warm-weather dinner when you want bold flavor without fuss.

Stack about 15 charcoal briquettes in a pyramid inside the grill. If you like, lightly drizzle the coals with lighter fluid and let them soak for 1 minute before lighting them with a match. Let the fire spread to all the coals, about 10 minutes, then spread the briquettes out in the grill; let them burn until a thin layer of white ash covers the coals. Lightly oil the grates.
