SIMPLE ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

• Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray.
• Place fish on the pan.
• I keep my lemon juice (from a bottle) in a spray bottle (either from salad dressing, or you can buy them from Pampered Chef or culinary stores) I store it in the refrigerator. Spray fish lightly on one side with the lemon juice.
• Spray fish lightly with the margarine, or spread on some melted butter.
• Sprinkle lightly with Old Bay Seasoning.
• Broil about 6 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Turn fish and broil for another 4 - 6 minutes, or until fillets flake easily with a fork.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve.
• Note: I also keep olive oil in a spray bottle. You could probably substitute olive oil spray for the margarine, but I have not tried this yet.

ORANGE ROUGHY ALMANDINE THE EASY WAY

Steps:

• In an 8" square baking dish, place almonds ( I use Sunkist Almond Accents found in the Salad Section) and butter, microwave on high for 5-6 minutes,remove almonds,set aside.
• Place fish in the same dish, turning to coat both sides.
• Sprinkle filets with parsley,salt,lemon pepper, dillweed, paprika and almonds; pour wine into dish without touching filets.
• In the mean time preheat oven to 350 degrees; bake uncovered 14-18 minute or untill filets flake. ( As usual with delicate fish -- keep checking to make sure you don't over cook).

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.
