Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
- 0.5 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
Place the orange roughy fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the citrus marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Sprinkle the orange zest, lemon zest, and lime zest over the top of the fillets for added flavor and aroma.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the orange roughy fillets from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the citrus orange roughy immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
