Instructions
Creating Grilled Cod is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Fish: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fish is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high temperatures (about 400°F or 200°C).
4. Oil the Grill Grates: Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the Cod: Remove the cod from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Check for Doneness: The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
7. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve with lemon wedges.
These simple steps will guide you to create a delicious dish that is both flavorful and healthy.
