Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Orange roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill, and minced garlic.
Sprinkle both sides of the fillets evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Swirl the skillet to ensure it's evenly coated.
Place the seasoned fillets into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side, just until they are lightly golden.
Pour the herb mixture evenly over the fillets, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake the orange roughy for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the herbed orange roughy with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Pair with steamed vegetables or a side of rice for a complete meal.
