Grilled Lemon-Dill Cod

Here’s a quick tip – calculate the PointsPlus value before you eat it!  After spending 13 PointsPlus on sushi for lunch, I had to find something “Point friendly” for dinner!   This recipe saved the day!  A fish fillet like cod is very mild tasting and lean.  This mayonnaise based grilling sauce kept the fish moist and gave it a fresh, zesty flavor.  It would work with any firm-textured fish fillet. 

Grilled Lemon-Dill Cod

4 cod fillets

½ cup light mayonnaise

½ teaspoon grated lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Non-stick cooking spray

Spray the grill grate lightly with the non-stick cooking spray.

Preheat grill to medium heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill weed until well blended.

Place the cod fillets on the greased grill grate.  Brush the fish with half the mayonnaise mixture. 

Grill 5 minutes; turn the fish.  Brush the fish with the remaining mayonnaise mixture and grill an additional 5 to 8 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serves 4.
