OVEN FRIED ORANGE ROUGHY



Oven Fried Orange Roughy image

Crispy, flaky oven-baked fish is tough to beat. Fillets of orange roughy coated in a cornmeal and breadcrumb crust get a delicate pop of flavor from lemon zest and basil.

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pound orange roughy fillets, or cod, thawed if frozen
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 egg white
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or dill

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Combine the flour, salt, and lemon pepper seasoning in a shallow dish. Beat the egg white until frothy and place in another shallow dish. Combine the bread crumbs, cornmeal, lemon zest, and basil (or dill) in another shallow dish. Dip one side only of the fish into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the same side into the egg white then into the bread crumb mixture. Press the bread crumbs so they adhere. Place the fish coating side up in the baking dish. Tuck any thin edges of the fish underneath the fillet so they don't overcook. Place the fish in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 6-12 minutes (depends on thickness of the fillets), or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot.
