Poached Cod On The Grill

Fish is easy to prepare and so many times over done.  Here is how I fixed fish the other night :p yum!  I used cod but you can use any other of your choice.

Poached / Steamed Cod On The Grill

Your choice of fish and serving amount;
Fresh cherry tomatoes halved
4 cloves of Elephant Garlic sliced thin
salt for seasoning
fresh dill about 2+Tbsp minced a bit
extra virgin olive oil
foil and grill :)

First I got my foil ready- I didn't have  heavy foil so I placed two sheets for the bottom and another to place on top.
Rise and put dry fish then place on foil side by side with little over lapping.  I then drizzled a little oil, seasoned with the salt, placed the garlic and tomatoes on top.  Sprinkle dill over all then place foil on top and seal all around - but not tight on fish.  leave some space inside to cook.
Next place on heated grill I used med and cooked about 8 - 10 minutes.  Be careful not to over cook.  Below has good tips on cooking fish.
I served it up with fresh zucchini from our garden.

Fish is so good for you and even though the Gulf is in a sad state - please don't let it keep you from eating fish, frankly we don't eat enough.  I included a few links for you to check out that has valuable  information on fish safety, as well as, cooking guides.  However, as with many links I Google for information, I'm not listing myself as an advocate of any particular one, many I don't agree with on most issues.
