BAKED MEDITERRANEAN ORANGE ROUGHY
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.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the EVOO in a nonstick skillet and sautee the garlic for a min or so.

- Add the roasted red peppers last, they're already cooked so only need to be heated through for a min or so.
- Place each raw fillet in their own aluminum foil pack or 2 fillets per 1 pack if you want to save foil (i find 4 in one pack is too difficult to work with).
- Spoon the onion/pepper/garlic mixture made above over the fillets and then the olives too.
- Close the foil around the fish, leaving a teeny hole for steam escape.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, fish should flake easily w/ a fork.

MEDITERRANEAN STYLE ORANGE ROUGHY
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.
