  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F.
  2. Cut 4 sheets of foil, large enough to wrap each cod fillet individually.
  3. Brush each piece of cod with olive oil and season with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place each fillet on a foil sheet and top with lemon slices.
  5. Seal the foil packets by bringing the edges together and folding them over, ensuring they are well sealed.
  6. Grill the foil packets for 10-15 minutes, or until cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Carefully open the foil packets, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The fish may dry out slightly, but it will still taste great.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked cod, but it's best to consume it fresh for the best texture. If freezing, seal it tightly and use within two months.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a light meal.
  • Cooking Alternatives: If you don't have a grill, this recipe can also be made in the oven at 400°F for about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Garnish Variations: Try adding other fresh herbs like thyme or dill for a different aromatic experience.
