Easy Baked Orange Roughy with Peppers, Olive Oil and Herbs
An easy 20 minute recipe for baked white fish (cod, haddock, orange roughy) with fresh peppers, citrus, olive oil, and herbs.
Servings 3 people
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups small diced peppers
- 1 small onion diced
- 2-3 small filets orange roughy cod or haddock also work
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil for drizzling
- 1-2 oranges juiced
- 1 lemon juiced
- ¼ tsp salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp herbs herbes de Provence and dill are great
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the diced vegetables (peppers and onion) to a large baking dish (mine was about 13"x9") to form a 'bed' of vegetables. Add the fish filets on top.
- Drizzle on the olive oil, orange juice and lemon juice, spreading evenly on top of the fish and in the dish.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper and herbs on top.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the fish looks cooked through (it should be flaky, but not dry). Orange roughy is a thin, delicate fillet, so start checking at 12 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes (this will let the veggies steam a bit more), then serve with the veggies and rice (if desired). Spoon the sauce on top and enjoy!
