DELECTABLE BAKED ORANGE ROUGHY
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!

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.
GARLIC PARMESAN ORANGE ROUGHY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Place the orange roughy filets on the broiler pan and squeeze the lemon over the top of the fish. Broil the filets in the preheated oven for about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Combine parmesan, butter, dijionnaise, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Remove the fish from the oven and spread the cheese mixture on top of the filets. Sprinkle with paprika. Broil until the topping is lightly browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose fresh or frozen orange roughy fillets. If using frozen fillets, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold water for 30 minutes.
- Season the fish simply with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Cook the fish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Cook the fish for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Orange roughy pairs well with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
