    • About This Recipe

    “Cod is a delicious fish, with a mild flavour and white firm flesh. After buying cod, (and most fish in general), always rinse off the fish with cool water when you get home and pat dry and then rewrap. Store it in the coldest part of the fridge and for no more then 2 days.”

    Ingredients

  • 2lbscod, 4 fillets
  • 1teaspooncumin
  • 1teaspooncayenne(optional)
  • 1dashsalt
  • 1dashblack pepper
  • 2tablespoonsspicy brown mustard
  • 1tablespoonbutter
  • 1lemon, wedged

    • Directions

  • Dust cod with cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne.
  • Spread mustard over fish.
  • If grilling use the butter to baste, this of course means you’ll need to melt the butter.
  • Grill for about 3 minutes per side.
  • You could alternatively broil for 3-4 minutes per side in the oven.
  • In this case, place the fish on a broiling pan and dot each fillet with butter before putting it in the oven (on broil).
  • Either way the fish flesh will be white, firm and flake easily with a fork when done.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

  • “It was fine the first day, not anything to write home about so I would only give it 2.5 stars but the second day I used the leftovers for fish tacos and it tasted much better. It really makes a difference what you pair it with. Now a 4 star. Thanks.”

  • “My Husband and I gave this recipe a try with a twist.We added a few ingredients and left out the mustard.We added Onion Powder, Celery Salt, White Pepper, Sugar, Black Pepper, Corriander, and Paprika…made it into a dry rub…and it was awsome.Just the right amount of hot to add flavor without the over powering flavor of the Mustard which some didnt seem to like.”

  • “My family did not enjoy this recipe.The mustard was at times very overwhelming.Sorry!”

  • “This was absolutely the best.The cumin just made it.So nice nice and flakey.We just loved it.Thanks for posting. “

  • “We really enjoyed this recipe.I would use a little less cayenne next time but it was still very enjoyable.”

  • “This was fantastic and I didn’t have to change a thing.Thanks for sharing.”

  • “Excellent dish! Flavor combination is very tasty, spicy and complex. Next time, I’m going to try it withsalmon or another fish with a stronger flavor. Can’t wait to serve this to guests.”

  • “This is similar to a recipe a friend gave me recently for tuna… I thought this was a little strong for such a mild fish. I look forward to trying this on different types of fish.Thanks”

  • “My husband grilled the cod fillets the other night for dinner. I came home and was greeted with the most wonderful smell. The fillets were thick and tender. I loved the spiciness from the cayenne and cumin. Those two are an unbeatable combination. Thanks Nurbel for an easy recipe the we really enjoyed.”

  • “Excellent! I made this exactly like the recipe and it came out awesome. My wife, who hates anything not made with hot sauce even liked it.”

  • “I had to modify this a bit, because I need to go grocery shopping really badly. I used old fashioned whole grain dijon mustard instead of the spicy (it was all I had) and I used garlic butter rather than just butter (it was all I had). A different, refreshing taste from blah fish. Thanks for the recipe, I enjoyed it. Next time I’ll try to follow the recipe a bit closer! I mean, go grocery shopping….”

  • “This was very good!The mix of flavors from the mustard, cumin, and the grill were delicious!My 6 year old hated it (didn’t put cayenne on his, of course), but don’t take that personally, he is finicky.All the rest of us loved it!”
