Tips:

Choose fresh and firm orange roughy fillets. Look for fillets that are bright in color and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are dull or have a slimy texture.
Use a light hand with the seasoning. Orange roughy is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overpower the flavor with too much seasoning. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need.
Cook the orange roughy gently. Overcooking will dry out the fish and make it tough. Cook the fillets over medium heat until they are just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve the orange roughy immediately. Once the fish is cooked, serve it immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
