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
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the fillets gently into the skillet. Cook each fillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and melt the unsalted butter. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute to form a smooth roux.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking to prevent lumps. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the fresh dill, lemon juice, and an additional pinch of salt and black pepper. Simmer for 1 more minute.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dill sauce over the cooked orange roughy fillets and serve immediately. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
