Cod Baked in Foil on the Grill
Feeds 2 adults Prep time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 lb cod or tilapia fillet
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 red or Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS
Use heavy aluminum foil cut into large squares, big enough to enclose the fillet completely. Place equal portions of the fish fillets on each piece of foil. Push sides of foil up to make a cup.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Add lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper.
Stir to blend well. Pour this mixture over the fish, sprinkle with paprika and top with onion slices.
Fold the foil around the fish and seal.
Grill for 10 to 12 minutes. Fish should flake easily when done. Let each person open their own parcel. 

Crunchy Baked Fish Sticks
Preparation time:30 Minutes                                Serves 4

This is a crunchy, tasty, healthy alternative to store bought frozen fish sticks that children will love. It was the first prize winner in our recipe contest for fish recipes for kids, submitted by one of our long time customers, Sherri Julien. It was originally done with tilapia, but works equally well with cod, scrod or pollock. 

Ingredients: 
2 tilapia, cod, scrod or whitefish fillets, 6 to 8 oz.each                       
1 tsp garlic powder 
Panko Japanese bread crumbs              
1 pinch salt
1 large egg, beaten (2 if eggs are small)                                       
1 pinch pepper 2 Tbs. water                                         
Tartar sauce       
Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut fish into stick-shaped pieces, about 1" across. Mix together the egg, water, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Place Panko crumbs in another bowl, enough to cover fish sticks. Take fish pieces one by one and dredge them in the egg mixture, and cover with the Panko crumbs. Place them on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake them in the pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish sticks are golden brown. Serve with Burhop's Tartar Sauce. (Burhop's note: Cooking too long will dry fish out so start checking after 12 minutes--every oven is different. We used our Burhop's Tartar Sauce, and it was a great combo we think most kids and adults alike will love. Who doesn't like a meal you can eat with your fingers!)


Crumby Scrod (A Kid Favorite!)

Adults love this one as well -- so easy to do, and very tasty.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes                              Serves 4 

Ingredients:

2 lbs. fresh scrod, cod, halibut, tilapia, whitefish or any flaky white fleshed fish fillet

3 Tbs. butter                                    

Salt & pepper to taste 

Soft bread crumbs                         

Juice of 1 lemon             

Directions: 

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in a glass or ceramic oven-proof dish. Add lemon juice. Turn fish over in butter mixture to coat thoroughly. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Process two slices of soft bread in a blender to make bread crumbs. Sprinkle over fish fillets and spoon butter over crumbs and fish. Place fish in a pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes. (Cook fish 10 minutes per inch of thickness at the thickest part of fillet). Crumbs should turn light brown and slightly crispy. Reduce cooking time if fish is very thin. Serve with mashed potatoes and any green vegetable you can get your kids to eat! For mom & dad, a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
