It feels wrong to even call this a recipe, but, if I don’t document it, I’ll forget how tasty it is and that I should make it more often! It’s even keto-friendly!
This is a very simple process and prefect for a weeknight meal of cod cooked in an aluminum foil packet on the grill. No oven to turn on, no messes to clean up!
I had wild caught cod on hand but this would be delicious with many non oily fish like mahi mahi, bass, sole, halibut or haddock. I had miso paste in the fridge so I used some of that along with lemon juice and olive oil, but some ginger dressing or even some Italian dressing would work great also.
Ingredients:
Two 4-6 ounce cod filets
2 Tbsp. each miso paste, olive oil and lemon juice
4 slices of lemon, seeds removed
20-30 raw baby asparagus spears
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Turn your gas grill to medium flame (or turn the oven on to 375 degrees).
Cut two large pieces of aluminum foil and lay them on a work surface. Lightly coat each foil piece with cooking spray.
Place a cod filet and 10-15 asparagus spears in the center of each of the foil pieces. Spoon the miso paste over the fish then drizzle the fish and asparagus with olive oil then lemon juice. Season with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Place two slices of lemon over each fish filet then wrap the foil tightly over the fish and asparagus to create an air tight packet.
Place the foil packets on the grill, close the grill lid and cook for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the packets from the grill using a large spatula and equally carefully unwrap the foil packets.
Dish can be served right in the foil packets or transferred to a plate for a low carb meal. We served ours with basmati rice.
Makes two servings.
