The cod has a very delicate flavor, which makes it an excellent candidate for the grid with blackened seasoning. I don’t like joking too much with my fish, so give it a good sauce and burn it on the grill allows the flavor of the fish to really shine.

Belt cod is such a tasty and tender bite of tasty white fish. Cod is one of my favorite fish to grill because the flavor is intrinsically buttery and the coal of a hot grill makes the companion of flavor perfect. An additional bonus and discussion for the grid is that the blackened and spicy blackened dressing becomes smoky when cooked inside. Outdoors is the perfect place for cooking this grilled cod!

How to grill cod

We have already established that the cod is cooked super tasty on the grill (and even better when blackened), so let’s talk about how to cook this fish perfectly. Grilling cod is like 1-2-3! Just season, Sear and Grill!

How long to grill the cod

It will take about 15 minutes to cook a cod fillet of about 1.5 inches thick.

As you probably know now, every piece of meat or fish will cook only a little differently, so you should always cook at temperature and not at the time. Cod fillets are not always perfectly consistent in the thickness, so I highly recommend taking the temperature of each fillet and remove them from the heat when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

Most cod pieces will take more time to cook slightly, so from them all the time it takes to reach Doneness. Surely you don’t want to serve or eat little cooked fish!

Tips to prevent cod sticking to the pan

Since fish is a tender and lean protein, you want to take some precautions to ensure that cod fillets remain intact during cooking. There are special tools you can use (such as This spatula of fish), if you want to invest in your grilled arsenal. But I have some tips to help you ensure that your fish remains a good taste.

  • Prepare the cod. Whether you believe it or not, the creation of that perfect cod for the image begins before illuminating the grill. Make sure to dry the fillets with a paper napkin so that no excess humidity obstacles that splendid scald.
  • Use a good frying oil. The choice of kitchen oil right not only helps you develop that coveted crust, but can influence the flavor of your cod. I love to use avocado oil Because it will not affect the delicate and smoked flavor of cod. You can also use Canola oil or vegetable oil.
  • Don’t turn too quickly! Whether you have a fantasy spatula or not, be sure to give time to burn your COD before turning up. When it’s time to turn over, go slowly and be kind to delicate fillets.

  • Preheat. Preheat your grid at 400 degrees F.

  • Make the seasoning. Add all the ingredients for the blackened dressing in a small bowl. Free all the sides of cod fillets freely.

    4 cod fillets, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of powder onion, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of cayenna pepper, ¾ teaspoon of freshly ground white pepper, ¾ teaspoon of broken black pepper, ½ teaspoon of dry thyme leaves, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano

  • Broke the cod. Place a 12 -inch large pan (preferable cast iron) on the grids to preheat. Sprinkle in avocado oil. When the oil begins to ripple and smoke, place the cod fillets in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes or until a nice crust developed on the seasoning.

  • Finished cooking. Turn the fillets, lower the heat on the grill to 350 degrees F and close the grilled lid. Cook for another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the fish easily reaches 145 degrees F and settles with a fork. If your fillets are really thin, cook faster, if they are thick, they will take a little more time. Use a thermometer to keep track of the internal temperature so as not to end with fish too or not very cooked.

  • Serve. Remove the cod from the grill to a serving plate. Serve immediately.
