DELECTABLE BAKED ORANGE ROUGHY
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!

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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking fish, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
- Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will help prevent the fish from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick pan, you can grease the pan with cooking spray or oil.
- Cook the fish over medium heat: Cooking the fish over medium heat will help prevent it from overcooking. Overcooked fish is tough and dry.
- Season the fish well: Season the fish with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Serve the fish immediately: Fish is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help ensure that it's hot and flaky.

Cajun orange roughy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of Cajun spices and orange juice creates a flavorful and slightly tangy sauce that complements the mild flavor of the roughy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
