The accompaniments to the to fish were derived from a delicious pasta dish I'd eaten. I figured it would also go well with a flaky white fish. You can substitute tilapia for the orange roughy as well. Super easy to make, always a winner.

MEDITERRANEAN STYLE ORANGE ROUGHY



Mediterranean Style Orange Roughy image

This is my absolute favorite fish recipe for its wonderful flavor and ease of preparation. I love Mediterranean food and the mild, tender Roughy is a fantastic compliment to the fresh and vibrant feta, caper and tomato topping. This is a great, healthy recipe that will have you feeling like you just ate in a fancy restaurant. I adapted this recipe from a recipe found at epicurious.com. As usual, substituting or eliminating any ingredients will greatly change the flavor as each ingredient compliments the other.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest orange roughy fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a slight pinkish-orange hue. Avoid fillets that are mushy or have a grayish tint.
  • Marinate the fish: Marinating the orange roughy in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during cooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet prevents the fish from sticking and makes it easier to flip.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat: Cooking the fish over medium heat ensures that it cooks evenly without burning.
  • Do not overcook the fish: Overcooked fish becomes dry and tough. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Orange roughy is best served immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

The Mediterranean-style orange roughy recipes presented in this article offer a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. With its delicate flavor and flaky texture, orange roughy pairs well with a variety of Mediterranean ingredients, such as olive oil, lemon, herbs, and spices.
