Aug 25, 2025 02:24 AM
This recipe for Grilled Cod uses an easy and delicious fish marinade that’s good on any type of firm white fish. And the marinade infuses the fish with garlic, basil, and lemon flavors that make this such a delicious recipe for grilling fish!
This Grilled Cod recipe is my pick for this week, and I’m hoping you try it if you enjoy grilled fish! This is a budget-friendly recipe for fish cooked on the grill, and there’s a delicious marinade with garlic, basil, and lemon that adds so much flavor to the cod!
The idea of garlic and basil with fish may seem unusual, but please trust me on this. And although I love fresh basil, for a marinade I prefer dried herbs, and I’ve made this fish marinade many, many times with dried basil with great results. Just be sure not to marinate the fish too long, or the lemon juice will start to “cook” the fish. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
