Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 ounces each) Orange roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer.
Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the fillets in the prepared baking dish and evenly brush both sides of each fillet with the olive oil and seasoning mixture.
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and turns opaque.
Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the fillets with fresh parsley for a bright, herbaceous garnish.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
