This simple yet elegant recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a sophisticated weekend meal. Follow the steps below to create a delicious and nutritious seafood experience.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and onion powder. Mix well to create a fragrant marinade.
- Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel.
- Place the cod fillet in a shallow dish and coat it evenly with the prepared marinade. Make sure all sides are well-covered.
- Let the fish marinate for at least 15-30 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate and infuse the cod.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- If using a charcoal grill, wait until the charcoal is covered with white-gray ash before you start grilling.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated cod fillet on the preheated grill.
- Grill the cod for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the grilled cod from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.
- Transfer the cod to a serving plate. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, if desired.
- Serve the rosemary grilled cod with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or roasted potatoes.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Cod: For the best flavor, use fresh cod. Look for fish that is firm, with a fresh, mild scent. If fresh isn't available, high-quality frozen cod is a good alternative.
- Marinate for Enhanced Flavor: Allow the fish to marinate in the garlic, rosemary, onion powder, salt, and pepper mixture for at least 15-20 minutes before grilling. This helps the flavors to penetrate the fish more deeply.
- Preheat Your Grill: Ensure the grill is properly preheated to medium-high heat before cooking. This will help to create a nice sear on your cod without overcooking it.
- Use a Grill Basket or Foil: To prevent the cod from sticking to the grill and breaking apart, use a grill basket or aluminum foil. Lightly oil the basket or foil before placing the cod on it.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Cod cooks quickly, usually in about 6-8 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to avoid overcooking. The fish should be opaque and easily flake with a fork when done.
Rosemary grilled cod with garlic and onion is both delicious and easy to prepare. By following the tips outlined above, you can ensure a perfectly cooked, flavorful dish every time. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet night in, this recipe is sure to impress and satisfy. Serve your rosemary grilled cod with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad for a complete and nutritious meal.
