Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces orange roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup fresh salsa
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat the broiler on high and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the fresh salsa, honey, and lime juice. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and slightly thickened. Remove the glaze from heat.
Brush the warm salsa glaze generously over the seasoned fillets, ensuring an even coating.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the fish to avoid overcooking.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
