Orange Marmalade Rock Rock Cod

This is a totally improvised recipe that I tried tonight after talking to my Mom this weekend.  She describe a dish that she ordered at a restaurant in Texas so I decided to copy it, based on what I know how to do, grill fish!   

I used the remaining ling cod (best) and black cod (good) from my trip last Wednesday out of Trinidad. (Froze them the night they were caught and brought them to LA - no problems.)

I did go out to the $.99 store to buy a jar of Mandarin Orange Marmalade (all natural!) 

Ingrediets:  Rock Cod fillets, orange marmalade, cayenne pepper, lemon and lime slices.



I thawed the fish, patted it dry, slathered it in orange marmalade and sprinkled a little cayenne pepper on it.





I fired up the grill and when the coals were ready put the fish in my grilling basked and put it right over the coals.



Cooked it about 3 minutes per side, directly over the coals.

Took it off -- squeezed some lemon and lime juice on it, though I don't think it needed it ...



And YUM!!!!!



It was GREAT -- the Ling Cod was the best but the Black Cod was good, too.

 

i do the same with orange marm....apricot jam, brown sugar....just about any sweet sauce and SRIRACHA!

Yeah!  I like the heat!!  -- that would make this rock! -- My wife has trouble with spicey things though - so I tend to go mild when I'm cooking for two.   

Thanks,Gonna have to try that, always looking for new ways to eat fish.

I think that is going to be on the menu for Saturday night !!! Thanks and I may have to try some apricot jam as well thanks EWB!!

Do you mix all of these ingredients or just one sweet with the sriracha???

I usually do just one with the Sriracha but no reason you couldn't mix for a new flavor.....

When I was going through a freezer of WSB this year, I tried all kinds of sweet things like that as a marinade/sauce.  I'd usually add some vinegar, and some salt to cut the sweetness.  I didn't try much in the hot dept., but I think I will now.   I even tried maple syrup, but I don't think I'd do it again.  And apricot sounds good.

Making it tonight my wife is stoked, just bought the grill rack from home depot.

The Mandarin Orange Marmalade on the last bits of leftovers made an especially tasty fish salad last night -- fish is now all gone!  Need to come back for more
