Foil Wrapped Orange Roughy Recipes

CITRUSY BAKED ORANGE ROUGHY IN FOIL PACKETS - FOIL PACKET COOKING METHOD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to fold over an orange roughy filet and have a few inches to spare on each side to seal the packet. On each sheet, place a filet slightly off center and add 3 lemon slices and 2 lime slices on top. Top each filet with a quarter of the cilantro and jalapeno pepper, and then top with 1 T. butter. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top to taste.
• Seal the packet by folding the aluminum foil in half over the ingredients. Fold the three open sides one at a time and over several times to seal the foil packet completely. The packets should be tight enough to hold in steam, but still loose enough to allow room for the air to expand.
• Into the preheated oven, place the packets and cook for 15 minutes. (If using filets that are still frozen, add a couple minutes to your cooking time.)
• After cooking, open the foil packets carefully to avoid the hot steam. Discard lime and lemon slices. You can either transfer the filets to plates or leave them inside of the foil packets. Top with a flavorful salsa, such as spicy peach salsa, and serve.

ORANGE ROUGHY WITH OVEN-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• If preparing indoors, preheat oven to 400F.
• Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil into sections large enough to fold over filets, with another couple of inches on each side to seal. Place a filet slightly off center on each sheet and place 1 large oven-dried tomato slice and 2 lemon slice halves on top of each. Top each filet with ¼ of the fresh thyme and add 1 T. of butter to each packet. If desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
• To seal packet, fold aluminum foil in half over the ingredients. Fold the 3 open sides, one at a time, over several times to seal the packet completely. The goal is to seal the packet tight enough to hold in the steam, but allow enough room for the air to expand.
• Place foil packet in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or place on hot grill over medium, direct heat and cook for about 8 - 10 minutes. Add a couple minutes to your cooking time if starting with frozen filets.
• To serve, open the foil packets, carefully avoiding the hot steam. Discard lemon slices. Transfer filets to plates (if desired) or leave inside foil packets. Serve with Mediterranean pasta salad or another side dish with complementary flavors.

DELECTABLE BAKED ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

• Pull off four sheets of good quality aluminum foil, each about 24 inches long. Double each one over so it's a foot long and spray with the cooking spray.
• Pre-heat the oven to 375-degrees F.
• Lay out a fillet on each sheet of foil and pull the sides up a bit so that it will hold liquid.
• Squeeze a half lemon over each fillet. Cut up the spent lemons into wedges and put the pieces around the fish.
• Pour the melted butter equally over each fillet. Lightly dust the top of each fillet with the paprika. Instead of paprika, you could substitute Old Bay Seasoning, which yields an excellent flavor. In any case, you may not need all the spice, depending on the size of your fillets.
• Close the foil and make a seal. Place the closed foil bowls into the oven, middle rack, and bake for 15 minutes.
• Revove the foil bowls from the oven, carefully open them to expose the filets and place them all on a sheet pan. Re-set the oven to "broil" (on "high" if there is a setting), and return the fish to the oven just above the middle rack. Broil for just a few minutes until you see very slight browning, no more than 5 minutes.
• Garnish with the parsley sprigs and serve hot with basmati rice on the side. (See: Recipe #217802 ). You can just leave the fish on the foil and place it on serving plates if you wish.

FOIL WRAPPED ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

• Place filets, overlapping, on large piece of foil. Make sure that the piece of foil is large enough to enclose them.
• Sprinkle evenly with onion, parsley and mushrooms.
• Season with garlic salt and pepper (to taste).
• Wrap the foil, crimping the edges to keep in juices.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.

GARLIC PARMESAN ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Place the orange roughy filets on the broiler pan and squeeze the lemon over the top of the fish. Broil the filets in the preheated oven for about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Combine parmesan, butter, dijionnaise, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Remove the fish from the oven and spread the cheese mixture on top of the filets. Sprinkle with paprika. Broil until the topping is lightly browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes.

ORANGE ROUGHY WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Place three fillets on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square); repeat with remaining fillets. Sprinkle fish with seasoning; dot with butter., Fold foil around fish and seal tightly. Grill packets, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape., In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients; serve with fish.

GLAZED ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

OVEN-FRIED ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Move oven rack to position slightly above middle of oven. Generously grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
• Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, paprika, dill, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Pour milk into a separate bowl.
• Dip orange roughy pieces into milk and then press into bread crumbs to coat on all sides. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place breaded orange roughy into prepared baking dish in a single layer while breading the rest. Drizzle butter over the breaded fish pieces.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with fork, about 10 minutes.
