Grilled Onion-Butter Cod
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
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until translucent and aromatic.
- Add the white wine and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the cod from the grill. Spoon some of the sauce on top of each fillet and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy.
