Zesty Baked Orange Roughy Recipe

Submitted by Normaone

"I've been baking fish like this for years. Even with a little butter, it's relatively low fat, especially if you use non fat mayo. The mayo mixture is also quite nice as a dipping sauce for artichokes. Also, any white fish can be substituted. And if you have some herbs on hand, add them either to the dipping sauce or the mayo mixture."

• 1 1⁄2 lbs orange roughy

5. Combine bread crumbs, shallot, garlic and 1-2 tablespoons melted butter in a ziplock bag.

Very nice change for serving fish. It would be good with any light fish. I used onions instead of shallots, I didn't have any. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

Wonderful! I cooked it for 25 minutes as "duo_mom" suggested. However, I used finely chopped onions (didn't have any shallots), used 1/3 cup bottled lemon juice (didn't have a fresh lemon) and it turned out terrific! This recipe is going to be a standard for my house! Thanks!

I liked it, however, I would definitely recommend cooking it the full 25 minutes if not a little more, so you don't experience undercooked fish. Which is a huge turn off for people who don't really care for fish, but want to go outside of their comfort zone. Overall, okay.

I'm going 4 stars as that was the concensus at the dinner table. I thought 5 appropriate, my husband and son thought 3. I am the fish lover. This just might have been too mild for them.

I loved this recipe! I just bought the orange roughy for the first time and saw this recipe and decided to try it. I had all the ingredients except the shallots so subbed them with green onions. This was soooo delicious! My husband loved it as well. I will use this recipe on other white fillets too. This is definitely a keeper!! Thanks!
