Grilled Caramelised Cod with Smoked Paprika, Garlic & Balsamic Vinegar
If you are new to cooking fish, this is the perfect recipe to get you started. It works fantastic with the new Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker and it will take you minutes to prepare and very little can go wrong. I have used cod in this recipe for a light flavour, letting the marinade really stand out but monkfish or salmon also works well. Serve with a crispy salad and some cheeky fat chips.
