Ingredients:

  • 6g green tea bbq seasonings
  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil sprigs, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

Prepare the Cod Fillets:

  • Start by seasoning the cod fillets with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Make the Basil Marinade:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chopped basil, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. This mixture will be used to marinate the cod fillets.

Marinate the Cod:

  • Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the basil marinade over them, ensuring that both sides are well coated. Cover and let marinate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.

Preheat the Grill:

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

Grill the Cod:

  • Once the grill is ready, place the marinated cod fillets on the grill grates. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Remove the grilled cod from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Transfer the cod fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Enjoy Your Basil Grilled Cod:

  • Serve your delicious basil grilled cod as a light and flavorful main course. The combination of tender, juicy cod, infused with the unique flavors of green tea bbq seasonings and the fresh basil marinade, creates a delightful and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a special occasion. Enjoy!
