Tips:
- To achieve the perfect crispy skin on your orange roughy, pat the fillets dry with paper towels before searing them in a hot pan with a little bit of oil or butter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the fish, as this will cause the fish to steam rather than sear.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it will become dry and tough. A good rule of thumb is to cook the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Sweet potato frites are a great way to add a healthy and flavorful side dish to your meal. To make the frites, simply cut the potatoes into thin strips and toss them with a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, bake them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Curry aioli is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. To make the aioli, simply combine mayonnaise, curry powder, garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Serve the aioli with the pan-fried orange roughy and sweet potato frites.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried orange roughy with sweet potato frites and curry aioli is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The fish is cooked to perfection and the frites are crispy and flavorful. The curry aioli adds a delicious and unique flavor to the dish. This meal is sure to please everyone at the table.
