Ingredients
•
2 (8 ounce) fillets cod, cut in half
•
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
•
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper

Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
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.
3
Season both sides of cod fillets with Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set fillets aside on a plate.
4
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.
5
Grill cod fillets on the preheated grill until browned and flaky, about 3 minutes per side, basting frequently with butter mixture while grilling.
6
Allow cod to rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before serving.

Serve and enjoy!
