Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 ounces each) Orange roughy fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer.
Step 2
Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the fillets in the prepared baking dish and evenly brush both sides of each fillet with the olive oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and turns opaque.
Step 6
Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the fillets with fresh parsley for a bright, herbaceous garnish.
Step 7
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
