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!

Provided by Bone Man

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.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the Freshest Fish Possible: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, fresh scent. Avoid any fish that has a slimy texture or a strong, fishy odor.
  • Pat the Fish Dry: Before cooking, pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
  • Don't Overcook the Fish: Orange roughy is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Use Good Quality Butter: The butter in the lemon-basil sauce is a key ingredient, so be sure to use a good quality butter that has a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Orange roughy with lemon-basil butter is best served immediately after cooking. The fish will continue to cook if you let it sit, so don't let it wait too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Orange roughy fillets with lemon-basil butter is a simple but elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The delicate fish is cooked to perfection and the lemon-basil butter sauce is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
