Best 8 Baked Orange Roughy In Foil Recipes

facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

For the perfect baked orange roughy in foil, there are a few important factors to consider. First, selecting the right type of orange roughy is key. This delicate, flaky fish has a mild flavor that pairs well with a variety of seasonings and sauces. The wild-caught variety is often considered to be the best, as it has a firmer texture and richer flavor. When choosing your fish, look for pieces that are firm to the touch and have a bright, vibrant color. Additionally, the thickness of the fish fillets is important, as it will affect the cooking time. Aim for fillets that are about 1 inch thick, as this will ensure that they cook evenly without becoming overcooked or dry.

Provided by marie

Categories     Main dish

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 orange roughy filets
4 oven-dried tomato slices
4 fresh or preserved lemon slices (cut in half)
2 Tablespoons fresh thyme
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • If preparing indoors, preheat oven to 400F.
  • Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil into sections large enough to fold over filets, with another couple of inches on each side to seal. Place a filet slightly off center on each sheet and place 1 large oven-dried tomato slice and 2 lemon slice halves on top of each. Top each filet with ¼ of the fresh thyme and add 1 T. of butter to each packet. If desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • To seal packet, fold aluminum foil in half over the ingredients. Fold the 3 open sides, one at a time, over several times to seal the packet completely. The goal is to seal the packet tight enough to hold in the steam, but allow enough room for the air to expand.
  • Place foil packet in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or place on hot grill over medium, direct heat and cook for about 8 - 10 minutes. Add a couple minutes to your cooking time if starting with frozen filets.
  • To serve, open the foil packets, carefully avoiding the hot steam. Discard lemon slices. Transfer filets to plates (if desired) or leave inside foil packets. Serve with Mediterranean pasta salad or another side dish with complementary flavors.

Citrusy Baked Orange Roughy in Foil Packets - Foil Packet Cooking Method image

Citrusy Baked Orange Roughy is a simple and highly versatile dinner recipe.

Provided by All She Cooks

Categories     Main Course     Main dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 orange roughy fillets
12 slices fresh or salt-cured preserved lemon
8 slices fresh lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (stems removed and chopped)
1 tablespoons fresh jalapeno pepper (seeds and veins removed and finely chopped)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to fold over an orange roughy filet and have a few inches to spare on each side to seal the packet. On each sheet, place a filet slightly off center and add 3 lemon slices and 2 lime slices on top. Top each filet with a quarter of the cilantro and jalapeno pepper, and then top with 1 T. butter. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top to taste.
  • Seal the packet by folding the aluminum foil in half over the ingredients. Fold the three open sides one at a time and over several times to seal the foil packet completely. The packets should be tight enough to hold in steam, but still loose enough to allow room for the air to expand.
  • Into the preheated oven, place the packets and cook for 15 minutes. (If using filets that are still frozen, add a couple minutes to your cooking time.)
  • After cooking, open the foil packets carefully to avoid the hot steam. Discard lime and lemon slices. You can either transfer the filets to plates or leave them inside of the foil packets. Top with a flavorful salsa, such as spicy peach salsa, and serve.

DELECTABLE BAKED ORANGE ROUGHY



Delectable Baked Orange Roughy image

I love buttery, lemony white fish so I devised this simple recipe. For this dish, you can use roughy, tilapia, whitefish, halibut.... any nice white fish fillet. And this is a great way for NEWBIES to seafood to break in. The technique is pretty forgiving of mistakes and the fish WILL be done, but not overcooked. Enjoy!

Provided by Bone Man

Categories     Orange Roughy

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 orange roughy fillets
8 tablespoons butter, melted (no margarine!)
2 lemons, halved
1/2 teaspoon paprika
8 fresh parsley sprigs (curly Italian parsley is best)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Pull off four sheets of good quality aluminum foil, each about 24 inches long. Double each one over so it's a foot long and spray with the cooking spray.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 375-degrees F.
  • Lay out a fillet on each sheet of foil and pull the sides up a bit so that it will hold liquid.
  • Squeeze a half lemon over each fillet. Cut up the spent lemons into wedges and put the pieces around the fish.
  • Pour the melted butter equally over each fillet. Lightly dust the top of each fillet with the paprika. Instead of paprika, you could substitute Old Bay Seasoning, which yields an excellent flavor. In any case, you may not need all the spice, depending on the size of your fillets.
  • Close the foil and make a seal. Place the closed foil bowls into the oven, middle rack, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Revove the foil bowls from the oven, carefully open them to expose the filets and place them all on a sheet pan. Re-set the oven to "broil" (on "high" if there is a setting), and return the fish to the oven just above the middle rack. Broil for just a few minutes until you see very slight browning, no more than 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with the parsley sprigs and serve hot with basmati rice on the side. (See: Recipe #217802 ). You can just leave the fish on the foil and place it on serving plates if you wish.

  • Seal the foil packet tightly: This will prevent the steam from escaping and ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • Bake the foil packet at a high temperature: This will help to quickly cook the fish and prevent it from becoming dry.
