ORANGE ROUGHY WITH TARRAGON



Orange Roughy With Tarragon image

Threw this together tonight--we loved it! The tarragon is a wonderful ingredient in this dish. Ingredients are VERY MUCH approximated. I made enough orange roughy for two of us. It depends on the size of orange roughy you use--just eyeball it. Olive oil does not need to cover fish when it goes into the oven, because the fish will cook down and eventually get covered with it anyway.

Categories     Orange Roughy

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 -3 orange roughy fillets (frozen is fine)
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon tarragon (Dried, although I plan to use fresh when my tarragon gets larger!)
1 -2 teaspoon paprika
kosher salt, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a glass baking dish, arrange orange roughy fillets and cover with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with tarragon, paprika and kosher salt.
  • Bake for 25 minutes if fillets are frozen.
  • Check to be sure they are done--you can usually tell by looking, because the fish will have shrunk quite a bit from cooking.
  • It will also flake when prodded with a fork.
  • I served this with some roasted brussel sprouts (roasted in a 375 degree oven at the same time as the fish was cooking, sprinkled with olive oil and kosher salt. YUM!).

ORANGE ROUGHY IN ORANGE SAUCE



Orange Roughy in Orange Sauce image

I really enjoyed this fish -- first time I really enjoyed poached fish -- but this was great. Good with or without the lavender. Recipe source: local newspaper which was originally printed in Cooking with Lavender.

Provided by ellie_

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large orange roughy fillet (mine was a little over 1/2 pound)
pepper
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons dried lavender
2 carrots, peeled and cut into julienne stripes
3 scallions, sliced into julienne strips
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 cup white wine
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (I skipped the liqueur) (optional)

Steps:

  • Pepper both sides of the fish.
  • Pour orange juice in a measuring cup (I used ready-made but imagine freshly squeezed from 2 oranges will be so much better), stir in lavender and white wine and set aside.
  • Heat peanut oil (or use unsalted butter) in small skillet, stirring to coat until tender (5 minutes).
  • Meanwhile in a large skillet, suitable for poaching fish, add orange juice mixture and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add fish and lower heat to a simmer until fish is tender and flakes with a fork (10 - 15 minutes). Remove fish to a platter and keep warm.
  • Add orange liqueur, if using, to pan and turn up heat and reduce by half. Return fish to pan until heated through.
  • Place fish on plates and top with vegetables, spooning sauce over fish.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest orange roughy fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a bright orange color.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Orange roughy is a delicate fish, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the poaching liquid. A dry Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio works well.
  • If you don't have tarragon on hand, you can use another fresh herb, such as parsley, chives, or dill.
  • Serve the poached orange roughy immediately with the tarragon sauce.

Conclusion:

Poached orange roughy with tarragon sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The fish is cooked gently in a flavorful poaching liquid, and the tarragon sauce adds a bright, herbaceous flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
