Ingredients for Citrus Orange Roughy
- Orange Roughy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- Parsley Flakes
How to Make Citrus Orange Roughy
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Lightly grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Place roughy fillets in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Evenly spread the cooked onion mixture over the roughy fillets.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
- Pour the orange-lemon mixture evenly over the fish and onions.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If the fish is crowded, cover for the first 5 minutes of baking to prevent drying out.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
