Cut the cod into even pieces. In a bowl, combine with olive oil, lime zest and juice, smashed garlic, paprika, and sea salt. Toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Cabbage Topping
In another bowl, whisk lime juice, honey, and oil. Add shredded cabbage, scallions, and jalapeño. Season with salt and toss. Let it sit for 15+ minutes to develop flavor.
Step 3: Grill the Fish
