I made this recipe for my wife, before I made it for guests, exactly as explained. It came out fabulous. Thanks. Arthur

When I was growing up my dad did bluefish this way on the grill when we were camping on the beach. It was always wonderful. And freshly caught. I don’t think people eat bluefish anymore and I’ve had people tell me it was bait fish. Oh well. We went clamming and made clam chowder too. It was to die for.

This was an excellent base recipe. I switched out leeks for red onion and also cut some yellow squash into 1/4 inch slices along with matchstick carrots. Also used pear flavored vodka because we had no vermouth. Cooked in foil on the barbeque for 15 minutes. All came out perfect!! Thanks so much for this recipe that was perfect for a summer dinner.

Having been born and raised in Maine try swapping out the lemon zest with lime zest it is absolutely delicious and unexpected with cod! :-)

I made this with Halibut and switched out the leeks for zucchini and the vermouth for white wine (and of course a little extra butter)...muah chefs kiss! 👏

This is perfect for one person. My husband doesn't eat fish so I can make fish for me and a chicken breast for him. No wasted food! :D

I found this video searching for a new way to cook cod. This was super easy and SO delicious I will be making it every week. One pound of cod made 3 packets and they reheat well in the microwave (outside the foil of course). Thanks for a new favorite!

[imnedmonton]

I have to try this. I'm salivating already. thx♥

[owenparkerjr.]

Please understand that because of your efforts I have the butter basted Alaskan Cod down to perfection and I am grateful. Twice a week. My fillets are not as thick, so I have to adjust my cooking time. Onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika that is it. Thank You

Excellent recipe. I use this method for cod, salmon and halibut using foil when it's just me. When I have guests, I'll use *_parchment paper_* and serve the pouch on a plate at the table.

[judygravelle]

[jacobcheriyan]
