Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) orange roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Brush the olive oil and seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the fillets for 8–10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. There’s no need to flip the fillets.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the broiler and let them rest for 1–2 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the orange roughy fillets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
