Provided by All She Cooks

Categories     Main Course     Main dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 orange roughy fillets
12 slices fresh or salt-cured preserved lemon
8 slices fresh lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (stems removed and chopped)
1 tablespoons fresh jalapeno pepper (seeds and veins removed and finely chopped)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to fold over an orange roughy filet and have a few inches to spare on each side to seal the packet. On each sheet, place a filet slightly off center and add 3 lemon slices and 2 lime slices on top. Top each filet with a quarter of the cilantro and jalapeno pepper, and then top with 1 T. butter. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top to taste.
  • Seal the packet by folding the aluminum foil in half over the ingredients. Fold the three open sides one at a time and over several times to seal the foil packet completely. The packets should be tight enough to hold in steam, but still loose enough to allow room for the air to expand.
  • Into the preheated oven, place the packets and cook for 15 minutes. (If using filets that are still frozen, add a couple minutes to your cooking time.)
  • After cooking, open the foil packets carefully to avoid the hot steam. Discard lime and lemon slices. You can either transfer the filets to plates or leave them inside of the foil packets. Top with a flavorful salsa, such as spicy peach salsa, and serve.

DELECTABLE BAKED ORANGE ROUGHY



Delectable Baked Orange Roughy image

I love buttery, lemony white fish so I devised this simple recipe. For this dish, you can use roughy, tilapia, whitefish, halibut.... any nice white fish fillet. And this is a great way for NEWBIES to seafood to break in. The technique is pretty forgiving of mistakes and the fish WILL be done, but not overcooked. Enjoy!

Categories     Orange Roughy

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 orange roughy fillets
8 tablespoons butter, melted (no margarine!)
2 lemons, halved
1/2 teaspoon paprika
8 fresh parsley sprigs (curly Italian parsley is best)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Pull off four sheets of good quality aluminum foil, each about 24 inches long. Double each one over so it's a foot long and spray with the cooking spray.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 375-degrees F.
  • Lay out a fillet on each sheet of foil and pull the sides up a bit so that it will hold liquid.
  • Squeeze a half lemon over each fillet. Cut up the spent lemons into wedges and put the pieces around the fish.
  • Pour the melted butter equally over each fillet. Lightly dust the top of each fillet with the paprika. Instead of paprika, you could substitute Old Bay Seasoning, which yields an excellent flavor. In any case, you may not need all the spice, depending on the size of your fillets.
  • Close the foil and make a seal. Place the closed foil bowls into the oven, middle rack, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Revove the foil bowls from the oven, carefully open them to expose the filets and place them all on a sheet pan. Re-set the oven to "broil" (on "high" if there is a setting), and return the fish to the oven just above the middle rack. Broil for just a few minutes until you see very slight browning, no more than 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with the parsley sprigs and serve hot with basmati rice on the side. (See: Recipe #217802 ). You can just leave the fish on the foil and place it on serving plates if you wish.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right Orange Roughy fillets: Look for firm, plump fillets with a bright orange or pinkish hue. Avoid any fillets that appear dull or have brown spots, as this may indicate that the fish is not fresh.
  • Preparing the Orange Roughy fillets: Before cooking, pat the fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the fish to cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Seasoning the Orange Roughy fillets: Season the fillets liberally with salt and pepper, and any other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. This will enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Wrapping the Orange Roughy fillets: Wrap each fillet tightly in aluminum foil, making sure that the edges are sealed securely. This will help to create a moist cooking environment and prevent the fish from drying out.
  • Cooking the Orange Roughy fillets: Bake the wrapped fillets in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serving the Orange Roughy fillets: Carefully unwrap the foil packets and transfer the fish to a serving platter. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Foil-wrapped orange roughy is a simple and delicious way to cook this mild-flavored fish. By wrapping the fish in foil, you create a moist cooking environment that helps to preserve the fish's natural flavors and nutrients. This cooking method is also very versatile, as you can add a variety of seasonings and vegetables to the foil packets to create different flavor combinations. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, foil-wrapped orange roughy is a great recipe to try.
