Images

Description

This delicious grilled cod has a fantastic buttery flavor and texture. The onion and white wine combine with the butter to create a complexly flavored sauce that, although simple to make, will taste as if you spent a lot of time and effort making it. When served with grilled potatoes or vegetables of your choice, this dish makes the perfect weeknight meal or an impressive entrée for a special gathering.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until translucent and aromatic.
  3. Add the white wine and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Brush the fish fillets with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a well-oiled grill rack, close the lid, and cook for 8 minutes.
  5. Baste the cod with the butter sauce and then carefully flip over the fish. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes—basting the fish a total of 2 to 3 times—until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145 F.
  6. Remove the cod from the grill. Spoon some of the sauce on top of each fillet and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy.
