Don’t Bake FISH! Do This Instead! Blackened cod is such an irresistible tasty and tender bite of flavorful white fish. Cod is one of my favorite fish to BBQ on the grill because the flavor is inherently buttery and the char from a hot grill makes for the perfect flavor companion. An added bonus and argument for grilling is that the savory and spicy blackened seasoning gets smoky when cooked inside. Outdoors is the perfect place to cook up this grilled cod!

What’s up it’s Susie from hay Grill hay and today we are throwing down an incredibly delicious blackened Cod on Skillet on your grill in your very own backyard it is fragrant and delicious and a little bit spicy you’re going to love this one I’m going to show you how

To do it let’s get started to kick off cooking our beautiful cod fillets I need to preheat my grill I’m doing these on a Weber kettle today with two Zone heat you can cook them on whatever Grill you like as long as you have slightly variable temperatur so we’re going to start

Preheating our Grill to 400° but later in the recipe I’m going to drop it down to 350 so if you have a pellet grill in you can control temperature that way it works great in my Kettle I know that I can start the Searing process off over

The high heat and then move it over to the low heat to finish the cooking process honestly this works great on most types of grow so as long as you can kind of control those temperatures in that 50° range you’re good to go once my grill is preheated and rolling to 400°

It’s time to prep my cod fillets I’m going to start by making my homemade blacken seasoning this is as easy as combining all of the ingredients into a small bowl I start with a tablespoon of smoked paprika 2 teaspoons of salt 1 teaspoon of onion powder and 1 teaspoon

Of garlic powder I also add in a full teaspoon of cayenne pepper this makes for a pretty spicy rub so if you’re somebody that is a little bit nervous around heat you can cut the cayenne and half and not have quite as Punchy of a blackened seasoning I also add in 3/4 of

A teaspoon of white pepper 3/4 of a teaspoon of black pepper a half a teaspoon of dried thyme leaves and half a teaspoon of dried oregano leaves this gives us a really Punchy warm seasoning that is also really balanced with these herbs that we’re using once my seasoning

Is made I’m going to sprinkle it liberally on all sides of the Cod and let it sit for just a minute while I prep the next step I set a 12in cast iron skillet or any large heavy bottom Skillet that you can use on the grill over the high

Temperature side of the grill and drizzling a couple tablespoons of avocado oil avocado oil is my favorite to use when I’m grilling or doing these high temperature Sears because it has a really high smoke point and not a ton of flavor is added to the final product

Itself it just gives you a really nice crispy crust on the outside once my oil is starting to Ripple in the pan it looks almost like shimmering on the top of water I know it’s time to put my cod fillets in so I just lay them gently in

My preheated cast iron skillet and let them sear for about 3 to 4 minutes I flip the fillets over I really like to use a thin metal spatula for this to prevent any of my fish from sticking to the pan it lifts up really easily flip it over in the pan slide

That pan over to the indirect heat side of the Grill close the lid close the vent so that the temperature starts to drop down in the grill to about 350° and then let it finish cooking now depending on the thickness of your fillets is going to indicate how long

Your Cod needs to continue cooking on the indirect heat side of the grill uh fillets that are about an inch and a half thick tend to take 10 to 12 minutes for this step of the cooking process if you have thinner fillets they will cook quite a bit quicker if your fillets are

Thicker they’ll take a little bit longer so use a good thermometer we’re looking for a final internal temperature of our Cod of 145° f once my Cod hits 145° I’m ready to pull it out of the skillet onto my serving platter I think it’s delicious

As is but I also like to serve it with a couple of garnishes I like some fresh chopped Italian parsley and some lemon wedges just to give them some extra pop and freshness the Cod is out of the pan I like to just hit it with some fresh

Lemon at the end I think the acidity in the lemon always good with fish but a particularly delicious foil to the heat that you get from the cayenne pepper in the blackened seasoning I got this little end piece that kind of fell off right here it’s like a little Cod

Nugget Cod itself is one of the more mild fishes that you can have and it is so buttery and Flaky and tender the cod in and of itself is delicious but you add on this incred incredibly bold blackened seasoning and it just takes things over the top you

Get the heat from the Cayenne that Smoky paprika and then you get the Crispy Crunchy edges from it frying in that avocado oil plus the lemon on the back end just lifts everything and makes it feel so fresh and delicious this was done in several minutes we threw together the seasoning

And everything cooked it outside on the grill it came together so fast very simple week night staple you can easily make it home and then repeat week after week because if your family is anything like mine it’ll be on the request list quite regularly you can grab this full
