Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm orange roughy fillets. Look for fillets that are bright in color and have no signs of spoilage, such as brown or black spots.
  • Make sure the fillets are completely dry before coating them in the peanut crust. This will help the crust adhere better and prevent the fish from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand when coating the fillets in the peanut crust. Too much crust can overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Orange roughy is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the peanut-crusted orange roughy with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Peanut-crusted orange roughy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy peanut crust adds a unique flavor and texture to the fish, and the orange roughy is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
