Even on cool slightly rainy nights the grill calls to me. It means less clean up and usually faster cooking. Seafood is great to cook on the grill, especially because then the house does not smell like fish! We are very lucky that we have a friend who loves to fish but doesn’t like seafood, so we get pounds of his fresh catch to freeze and pull out when we need it.
Grilled Haddock
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 to 8 basil leaves torn
- 3 pounds Haddock fillets or other firm white fish, like cod
- 1/2 pound Campari tomatoes diced
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese optional
Instructions
-
Preheat the grill. Take 2 large pieces of foil and cross them. Drizzle olive oil, salt and half of the basil leaves on the foil. Place haddock fillets on top.
-
Add tomatoes, remaining olive oil, salt and basil leaves, then squeeze the lemon juice over the fish.
-
Close up the foil and fold into a packet. Add another piece of foil if needed to make sure the fish is completely enclosed.
-
Place on direct heat on the grill and close grill. After 10 minutes, move to indirect heat. Close grill and continue to cook for another 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Take off the grill and serve! Sprinkle fish with feta if you like.
I have about 8 pounds of haddock left, so I’m sure there will be more recipes in the future! Any good ideas? What is your favorite way to cook haddock?
