Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit four fillets in a single layer.
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth.
Brush the mustard mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
