Spiced Cod Fillet on the Grill

Nurbel's Note:

Cod is a delicious fish, with a mild flavour and white firm flesh. After buying cod, (and most fish in general), always rinse off the fish with cool water when you get home and pat dry and then rewrap. Store it in the coldest part of the fridge and for no more then 2 days.

• Total Time: 16 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 6 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 lbs cod, 4 fillets
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
• 1 dash salt
• 1 dash black pepper
• 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 lemon, wedged

Directions:

1. Dust cod with cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne.
2. Spread mustard over fish.
3. If grilling use the butter to baste, this of course means you'll need to melt the butter.
4. Grill for about 3 minutes per side.
5. You could alternatively broil for 3-4 minutes per side in the oven.
6. In this case, place the fish on a broiling pan and dot each fillet with butter before putting it in the oven (on broil).
7. Either way the fish flesh will be white, firm and flake easily with a fork when done.
8. Serve with lemon wedges.

My family did not enjoy this recipe. The mustard was at times very overwhelming. Sorry!

This was absolutely the best. The cumin just made it. So nice nice and flakey. We just loved it. Thanks for posting.

It was fine the first day, not anything to write home about so I would only give it 2.5 stars but the second day I used the leftovers for fish tacos and it tasted much better. It really makes a difference what you pair it with. Now a 4 star. Thanks.
