Baked Orange Roughy Italian-Style

FLUFFSTER's Note:

Orange roughy is so good and because it's a very mild fish, you can add bold flavors to it. This is so easy, and really quick to make. If you make your own bread crumbs, just add some Italian seasonings, such as dried basil and oregano.

YUMMY!! I tried this for the first time tonight. I had to sub a few things: I didn't have any romano cheese or garlicb powder, so I used a garlic and herb dip seasoning and just fresh parmesan cheese. Also, I forgot about the parsley, but the dip seasoning was flavorful enough without it. My fiancee- who doesn't car too much for fish- even liked it. I had to double the breadcrumb mixture to have enough for all the fish. IT WAS DELICIOUS AND EASY- just what I look for in a recipe. I served it with a full salad (greens, radishes, carrots, sugar sanp peas, avacado, egg and apple chunks) and some garlic roasted potatoes (ala Green Giant). The house smelled great and everyone was satisfied. Thank you! I will definitely make this again.

This is a great recipe! Me and my boyfriend both loved this. Although he will eat fish he is not crazy about it so this worked out great since he loved it as well. This is a definite keeper. One of the only fish that I will eat is orange roughy. It is a little pricey but does not have that fishy taste so the price is worth it to me. I may just make this recipe again next weekend :-) Thank you Fluffster!

This recipe is fantastic!!! It was so delicious and easy to make. My husband and I both loved it. I make fish often and this has been his favorite so far. We loved that it was crispy, but not fried. This will be one I will make for a lifetime. Thanks for sharing the recipe =).
