The cod cooks on a layer of lemon slices, which not only adds great flavor but also prevents the fish from sticking to the grill. The combination of butter, lemon, and fresh dill is a big winner, but if you aren’t a dill fan, basil or tarragon would also be lovely. The combination of butter, lemon, and dill creates a sophisticated sauce that comes together in minutes yet tastes like you spent hours making it. Serve this dish with grilled asparagus.

Instructions
1
Off heat, coat grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare medium-high fire in charcoal grill.
2
Pat fish dry and season with salt. Arrange 3 lemon slices on grill, slightly overlapping edges. Top lemons with 1 dill sprig and 1 fillet. Repeat with remaining lemon slices, dill sprigs, and fish. Cover grill and cook, without turning fillets, until fish is opaque and yields easily to thin knife, 8 to 10 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix butter, chopped dill, and lemon zest until blended.
4
Using 2 metal spatulas, transfer fillets to plates. Top each with 11⁄2 tsp lemon-dill butter. Serve with grilled lemon slices, if desired.
