ORANGE ROUGHY WITH TARRAGON
Threw this together tonight--we loved it! The tarragon is a wonderful ingredient in this dish. Ingredients are VERY MUCH approximated. I made enough orange roughy for two of us. It depends on the size of orange roughy you use--just eyeball it. Olive oil does not need to cover fish when it goes into the oven, because the fish will cook down and eventually get covered with it anyway.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a glass baking dish, arrange orange roughy fillets and cover with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with tarragon, paprika and kosher salt.
- Bake for 25 minutes if fillets are frozen.
- Check to be sure they are done--you can usually tell by looking, because the fish will have shrunk quite a bit from cooking.
- It will also flake when prodded with a fork.
- I served this with some roasted brussel sprouts (roasted in a 375 degree oven at the same time as the fish was cooking, sprinkled with olive oil and kosher salt. YUM!).

Tips:
- Choose the freshest orange roughy fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly briny smell.
- Pat the fillets dry before cooking. This will help them to brown evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the fillets. This will prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
- Cook the fillets over medium-high heat until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Serve the fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
- If you are using frozen orange roughy fillets, thaw them completely before cooking. You can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or by placing them in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
