Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using an oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap a single cod fillet completely.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil onto the center of each foil sheet to prevent sticking.
Place one cod fillet on each sheet of foil.
Sprinkle each fillet evenly with salt, black pepper, and optional paprika for added flavor.
Add minced garlic on top of the cod, dividing it evenly across the fillets.
Place a slice or two of lemon on top of each fillet, and a tablespoon of butter alongside it.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the cod for added freshness.
Fold the foil over the fish to create a sealed packet, making sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent any juices from escaping.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill or in the oven.
Grill or bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets to avoid hot steam escaping. Serve the fish immediately, optionally garnished with extra parsley or a lemon wedge on the side.
