Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Orange Roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper, then lightly dust them with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the fillets to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate covered with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the lemon juice and stir to combine, letting the sauce simmer for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the cooked orange roughy fillets.
Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for an extra splash of citrus flavor.
