Ingredients

• 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, place the fillets gently into the skillet. Cook each fillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and melt the unsalted butter. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute to form a smooth roux.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking to prevent lumps. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh dill, lemon juice, and an additional pinch of salt and black pepper. Simmer for 1 more minute.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Pour the dill sauce over the cooked orange roughy fillets and serve immediately. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
