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.

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.

Tips for Cooking Orange Roughy with Red Peppers:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh orange roughy should have a firm, white flesh and no strong odor. Red peppers should be ripe and firm, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Season the fish well. Orange roughy is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine to brighten the flavor.
- Cook the fish gently. Orange roughy is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Pair the fish with a flavorful sauce or salsa. Orange roughy pairs well with a variety of sauces and salsas, such as a lemon-butter sauce, a white wine sauce, or a salsa verde.
- Serve the fish with roasted vegetables or a salad. Roasted vegetables or a salad are a great way to round out a meal featuring orange roughy. The vegetables will add color and nutrients to the plate, while the salad will provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the fish.
Conclusion:
Orange roughy is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When cooked properly, it's a moist, flaky fish with a mild flavor that pairs well with a variety of sauces and sides. If you're looking for a new way to enjoy fish, orange roughy is a great option.
