Smoked Cod
Delicately smoked cod with a ginger-soy marinade that creates tender, flaky fish with subtle Asian-inspired flavors. The low smoking temperature preserves the cod's natural moisture while infusing it with gentle smoke for an elegant and versatile protein.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs cod fillets
For the Marinade:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup ginger ale
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- Add your chosen wood chips to the smoker and preheat to 180°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together water, ginger ale, soy sauce, sugar, garlic powder, and ground ginger until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add cod fillets to the marinade and refrigerate for 1 hour, weighing down fish with a plate if needed to keep submerged.
- Remove fish from marinade and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- Place cod on smoker grates and smoke for 2-3 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 140°F.
