Description

Orange Roughy fish with a sweet, citrus sauce over it. Served best on a bed of rice with something fresh and green on the side!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Oil (I Use Sunflower)
  • 1 whole Orange, Juiced
  • 1-½ teaspoon Orange Zest
  • 1 whole Lime, Juiced
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey (add More To Taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Tony Chachere's (or Other Cajun Seasoning)
  • 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 4 whole Orange Roughy Fillets (frozen Is Fine, But Thaw First)

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large skilled on medium-high heat.

In a small bowl (or measuring cup), whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, Tony Chachere’s, and black pepper. Check for taste and add more of any ingredient as needed.

Place orange roughy fillets in skillet and then pour over orange/lime mixture. Continue spooning sauce over the orange roughy so that the fish really takes on those flavors. Cook for 6 minutes, or until fish can be easily flaked with a fork.

Remove cooked orange roughy from the skillet. Bring the sauce down to medium-low and reduce it until thick enough to set on top of the orange roughy. Spoon sauce over orange roughy and serve.

Thanks, cookarammamama! My boyfriend loves fish, but hates when it tastes fishy. I think that the acidity of the citrus and the sweetness of the honey really compliment the delicacy of orange roughy, even when it’s frozen!!!

Our family is not a big fan of white fish. However, this is superb!! The orange and lime compliment the roughy sooooo well! Thank you “cmerrif”!! We will be using this sauce recipe for other white fish in the future.
