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).

ALMOND CRUSTED ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

• Season both sides of each orange roughy fillet with salt and pepper.
• Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl.
• If almonds are already slivered, then they are ready to use. If not, then place in a food processor for 5 seconds to break them up. Pulse as needed. Alternately, place the almonds in a plastic bag and break up with a heavy metal can or meat mallet.
• Mix the almonds with the flour in a second shallow bowl.
• Melt the coconut oil in a pan on medium heat and roll around to coat. Vegetable oil can also be used.
• NOTE: for the next 2 steps, it's best to use one hand for the milk-egg bowl and the other for the almonds-flour bowl.
• Dredge the orange roughy fillets one at a time through the milk-egg mixture, holding them up to allow the excess liquids to drip off.
• Place the fillet in the almond-flour mixture. Using your dry hand, make sure the fillet is coated in flour and almonds. Press almonds into the fillet on both sides.
• Place one fillet at a time in time in the pan (unless you have a large enough pan to comfortably fit more than one). Cook fillet for 3 minutes on each side.
• Repeat steps 7-9 for remaining fillets.

ORANGE ROUGHY ALMONDINE

Steps:

• 1. spray a shallow baking pan with cooking spray, or use non-stick foil (which I prefer)
• 2. lay fillet on pan. sprinkle lemon juice over fillet, then the seasonings.
• 3. melt margarine and toss with bread crumbs. sprinkle over fillet.
• 4. place almonds on top of crumbs.
• 5. bake at 350 degrees, covered with foil the first 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake an additional 20 minutes until fish is flaky and crumbs are golden.
• 6. NOTE:
• 7. you can use prepared bread crumbs and also use the new "butter spray" if you are watching your calories more closely. I've used both.And this works with any "baked fish" tilapia, cod, alaskan pollock.

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.

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.
