As you all know I’ve been trying to eat a bit healthier especially with summer just around the corner. With the weather being so beautiful lately it was time to fire up the grill, and get cooking! This Grilled Cod with Lemon Thyme and Garlicky Green Beans is the perfect weekday meal.
From fridge to table in less than 30 mins! I made a traditional tartar sauce with a bit of a kick but if you aren’t into a spicy sauce feel free to omit the Sriracha sauce. I hope you enjoy this light and quick meal!
Ingredients:
8 (3.5 Oz) Cod Fillets or your favorite white fish
2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
1 Teaspoon Paprika
2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Thyme or 1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
2 Cups Fresh/Frozen Whole Green Beans
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 Tablespoons Butter
For the Tartar Sauce:
6 Tablespoons Mayo
3 Teaspoon Pickle Relish
1 Teaspoon Ketchup
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Sriracha Sauce
Pre-heat the grill over medium heat.
Line a cookie sheet or metal pan with foil paper (I use an old cookie sheet). Spray the foil paper with a bit of non-cook spray.
Place the cod filets on the cookie sheet spacing them evenly. In a small bowl melt the butter in the microwave approximately 30 seconds on high. Evenly baste the melted butter over the cod, so that it’s completely coated.
Sprinkle the cod with the paprika and the lemon thyme. Place on the grill and cook for about 10 minuets until the fish is cooked through. The fish should flake with a fork when done.
While the fish is on the grill cooking get the green beans started. Seriously these are the easiest green beans and they are delicious! I love to use the frozen organic ones that I purchase from the local big box store. Place the green beans, 2 Teaspoons butter, garlic powder and 1 Tablespoon of water in a microwave safe container; cover and microwave on high for 3 minuets or until tender.
To make the tartar sauce combine the mayo, ketchup, Sriracha, garlic powder and pickle relish. Stir until every combined and set aside.
Remove the Grilled Cod once the fish is cooked through and flaky. Serve over the garlicky green beans with a side of the spicy tartar sauce (Serves 4). Enjoy! If you have a chance let me know what you think in the comments!

Sounds yummy but do you put the fish directly on the grill or on top of the foil or with the cookie sheet? Thanks!
I place mine on a bit of foil on a cookie sheet, so it will not stick and fall through into the grill. I hope this helps!
how long do you grill? i can’t stand recipes like this that leave out basic details. ‘remove when cooked through and flaky’. now how are you going to monitor this while making green beans? the notion is silly
Jeff,
You might have to call in a few friends for this one. Monitoring your fish while simultaneously pushing green beans around in a pan is no cake walk. I can’t imagine attempting this recipe alone. I’d have one guy watch the fish and another person with eyes on the G beans. Make sure you have plenty of water around in case someone passes out. Also watch your 6 for any unexpected distractions. Remember stay focused, use earbuds and eye protection. Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose.
