Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) orange roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the olive oil and seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the fillets for 8–10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. There’s no need to flip the fillets.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the broiler and let them rest for 1–2 minutes.
Serve the orange roughy fillets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
