3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat grill to 400°F (204°C). Clean and oil grates. Prepare cod / haddock fillet (whitefish) (Firm cod or haddock fillet (1-inch thick), brushed with oil, placed on preheated perforated grill pan or foil). Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.

2
Cook

Cook for 8–10 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

3
Check & Rest

Opaque milky white throughout, flakes into large tender petals under light touch, 145°F. Confirm internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) internal. Rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

USDA FSIS 145°F Finfish Standard; National Fisheries Institute Grilling Recommendations.

Pro Tip: Use a perforated grill pan or heavy foil sheet with holes; lean whitefish flakes so easily that it drops through bare grates.
