The accompaniments to the to fish were derived from a delicious pasta dish I'd eaten. I figured it would also go well with a flaky white fish. You can substitute tilapia for the orange roughy as well. Super easy to make, always a winner.

- Spoon the onion/pepper/garlic mixture made above over the fillets and then the olives too.
- Close the foil around the fish, leaving a teeny hole for steam escape.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, fish should flake easily w/ a fork.

- Use a combination of olive oil and butter to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and to add flavor.
- Add the orange juice, capers, and olives to the pan towards the end of cooking to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the fish immediately with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
