Really tasty! Enjoyed this, I agree it could still handle more heat. Did this today in a cast iron pan, cut the spice and butter by 1/2. Could this work on a gas grill?

I watched this show tonite when I was on the treadmill and really felt the urge to make it so I looked in the freezer and pulled out two small pieces of cod. I used exactly the same spices but halved the amount, did not coat the fish in egg and only used a sprinkling of salt. The result was lovely however I do think it could have a bit more of a kick so I will maybe add more red pepper next time or chipotle like a previous reviewer wrote. Oh and i served it with pilau rice and peas but I will definitely be making this again, thanks Paula!
