Ingredients:

  • 4 5-oz Cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter ((melted))
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 medium Lemon ((sliced thinly))

Instruction:

  1. Preheat half of the grill burners to medium-high heat.
  2. Place each piece of fish onto a piece of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap around the fish (leave open for now). Use paper towels to pat the fish dry.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and lemon juice. Brush the mixture over the cod fillets.
  4. Season the cod on both sides with Cajun seasoning. Top each piece of fish with a lemon slice.
  5. Fold the foil all the way around the fish, leaving some space inside for air and creating a tight seal so that steam can't escape.
  6. Grill cod foil packets over indirect heat (on the side with burners off) for 10-12 minutes (recommended for even cooking), or over direct heat for 7-9 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
