Lemon Basic Cod



On heavy duty aluminum foil, spray the center with nonstick spray. 
Place a couple cod filets.
Smear them with 1 clove of crushed garlic.
Drizzle olive oil over them, season with salt & freshly ground pepper.

Sprinkle a tsp. of white balsamic vinegar over tops.Mince a few tblsp. of fresh basil & 1 tblsp. fresh oregano and sprinkle on top.
Place thinly sliced lemon pcs on top, sprinkle with more S&P.

Close up the foil & crimp.  Place on your grill (or in the oven) and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish - be careful not to overcook it.  You can use other types of fish, but cooking time will vary.  The fish is cooked when it flakes apart easily.Remove from the heat, carefully open the foil.

Grilled Cod w/tomatoes and basil


Cod is a fleshy, moist fish that grills well without becoming dry. You could probably substitute other fish with this recipe, but the cooking time will vary.  Cooking time will be shorter for thinner filets (flounder, sole..) and longer for thicker, denser fish (salmon, halibut, swordfish..).

Heat your grill. Get a large piece of heavy duty alum. foil and spray with nonstick spray.  Place your fish filets on the greased area. Drizzle with olive oil.  Season generously with S&P and a few shakes of Old Bay seasoning.




On top of the fish, place thinly sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, sliced/chopped fresh basil and again, season with salt and pepper.    Bring up the foil and close it over the fish, sealing it so that the heat stays in the packet (& cooks the tomato/onion).  Place the packet on the hot grill - cover the grill and set a timer for 15 minutes.   Carefully open the foil - if the fish is done you will see it 'separating' (flaking apart), indicating that it's fully cooked.   If you take a fork and pierce the fish in its thickest part - it should easily flake apart... if not, re-cover and cook another 5 minutes or so, checking until it's done.



Carefully remove the packet from the hot grill  (I slide a sideless cookie sheet under the packet and shimmy it on - you can gently use a spatula if you need help!).
