  • Wild Black Cod (Sablefish)
  • Neutral oil or olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • Optional: lemon wedges
  • Optional: fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)
  • BBQ grill (gas, charcoal, or pellet grill)
  • Grill brush
  • Paper towels
  • Fish spatula or grill-safe tongs

Instructions

  1. Preheat BBQ to medium or medium-high heat (375–425°F / 190–218°C).
  2. Clean and lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Pat black cod fillets completely dry with paper towels.
  4. Lightly coat with oil and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  5. Place fillets on the grill and cook without moving for 3–4 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully using a fish spatula once the fish releases easily.
  7. Cook another 3–4 minutes depending on thickness.
  8. Check for doneness — fish should be soft, flaky, and buttery.
  9. Remove when internal temperature reaches 120–125°F (49–52°C).
  10. Rest briefly; residual heat will finish cooking.
