Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Stack about 15 charcoal briquettes into a grill in a pyramid shape. If desired, drizzle coals lightly with lighter fluid and allow to soak for 1 minute before lighting coals with a match. Allow fire to spread to all coals, about 10 minutes, before spreading briquettes out into the grill; let coals burn until a thin layer of white ash covers the coals. Lightly oil the grates.
Step 2
Season both sides of cod fillets with Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set fillets aside on a plate.
Step 3
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in lemon juice and green onion, and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Gather all ingredients.
Step 5
Serve and enjoy!
Step 6
Grill cod fillets on the preheated grill until browned and flaky, about 3 minutes per side, basting frequently with butter mixture while grilling.
Step 7
Allow cod to rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before serving.
