BBQ Grilled Cod
Grilled cod is a classic seafood dish enjoyed worldwide. The fish's meaty texture is perfect for grilling as it retains moisture well and provides an intense flavor. The slightly sweet and smoky aroma of the BBQ sauce complements the natural flavor of the cod perfectly. This dish is an ideal choice for barbecues, family dinners, or a light summer lunch. The correct cooking technique ensures that the fish remains slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Rinse the cod fillets thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3
Generously coat the cod fillets with the BBQ marinade and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, then place the fish directly onto the grill grates.
5
Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
6
During the last minute of grilling, brush thinly with extra BBQ sauce, then grill for another 30 seconds to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Remove the grilled cod from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
8
Serve warm with lemon wedges, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables. It's also excellent with toasted bread or steamed rice.
