Pecan Breaded Orange Roughy image

This has been a favorite of mine for years and began when I lived in Salt Lake City, Ut. After I moved back home to NC 11 years ago, I found that orange roughy was not as easily found here as in Utah. Any good firm white fish will do such as Tilapia. Enjoy !!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover orange roughy. I also like to use it with other types of fish, such as tilapia or cod.

I thought the pecan-breaded orange roughy was a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some lemon juice or herbs to the breading next time.

The pecan-breaded orange roughy was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some butter or oil to the breading next time.
