SeaMazz® Orange Roughy Fillets

Preparation:

To Thaw: For best results, thaw fillets in a covered pan in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours. For quick thawing, place fish in an airtight bag or its original packaging and submerge in a pan of cold water. You can also quick thaw in the microwave, according to manufacturer's instructions. Do not thaw fish at room temperature.

To Bake: Preheat oven to 400° F. Coat baking pan with butter. Place thawed fillets in the pan, brush with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Spoon pan juices over fillets and serve.

To Sauté: Heat 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season fillets with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place in hot skillet. Cook approximately 2-4 minutes on each side, until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. For added flavor, sprinkle with lemon juice after turning.

To Microwave: Place thawed fillets in a microwave-safe dish. Cover with microwaveable plastic wrap, turning back one corner to vent steam. Cook at MED-HIGH (70%) for 5-7 minutes. Turn over halfway through cooking time. Let stand 3 minutes.

Serving Suggestions:

Broiled Orange Roughy and Grapefruit:

Blend 1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup grapefruit juice, salt and pepper. Pour over thawed fillets. Marinate for 30 minutes.

While fillets marinate, preheat broiler, peel and section 2 grapefruits, trimming off white membrane. Drain fillets, brush both sides with olive oil, place on broiler pan, season with salt and pepper. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Remove from pan and keep warm. Place grapefruit sections on a broiler pan, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar, and broil until hot and bubbly. Add a dot of butter to each fillet and arrange broiled grapefruit sections around fish.
