INGREDIENTS

  • 6 (6 ounce) fillets cod
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
  • 1 dash paprika

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat broiler. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
  2. Place the fish in a large saucepan. Mix together the water, sugar, and salt. Pour the water-mixture over the fish. The water-mixture should fully cover the fish, if it doesn't add more water. Bring the water to a boil over a medium-high heat. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Remove fillets from water, and blot on paper towels to remove excess water. Brush with 6 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle with paprika.
  4. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fillets are golden brown. Serve with the remaining melted butter.

I decided to give this recipe a try in an attempt to serve fish that isn't battered and fried to my family. I followed the recipe exactly and the results were great. I have four kids and they loved this recipe! The 3-year-old had three helpings! I agree with other reviews that it has a lobster-like consistency and flavor. Husband has already requested I make this again and often! Thanks for the great recipe and a nice change of pace from the same old fish.

I made this dish with red snapper fillets. I spread the butter on the fish after boiling it then I sprinkled garlic powder, clubhouse italiano seasoning and parmesan cheese. I also used clubhouse roasted pepper and garlic seaoning on some of the fillets. My husband loved it he also said it tasted like lobster.It was easy and I will make it again and agian.

This was very good. I did use frozen cod. I also thought this tasted similar to lobster, especially when dipping in melted butter. Yummy! Will definately be making this easy dish again.
