Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a fish spatula to carefully turn the fillets halfway through the cooking time.
  • If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can substitute lime juice or white wine vinegar.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use a variety of herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • To make the garlic butter sauce ahead of time, simply melt the butter and garlic in a saucepan over low heat. Let cool, then transfer to a jar or container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Orange roughy in garlic butter is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with butter, garlic, lemon, and herbs. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
