GRILLED COD WITH HORSERADISH DILL BUTTER

Cod fillets are dense enough to stand up to a boldly flavoured horseradish and dill butter. The texture of the fish also makes cod easy to cook on the barbecue.

Yield: Serves 4.

GRILLED COD WITH HORSERADISH DILL BUTTER

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped green onion
  • 2 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 tsp dill weed
  • 1 lb (0.5 kg) cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. To prepare horseradish dill butter, combine 1/2 cup butter, green onion, horseradish and dill weed until blended. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  2. Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
  3. Place each cod fillet on a piece of heavy-duty foil. Trim each piece of foil so it is slightly larger than fillet. Brush melted butter over cod; sprinkle with salt and pepper. With lid down, cook cod until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 - 12 minutes per inch of thickness. Serve topped with horseradish dill butter.
