Cilantro-Lime Orange Roughy
Ingredients
-
1 1/4
pounds fresh or frozen orange roughy, ocean perch, cod, or haddock fillets, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
-
Salt
-
Black pepper
-
1/4
cup snipped fresh cilantro
-
1
tablespoon butter, melted
-
1
teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
-
1
tablespoon lime juice
Directions
1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into four serving-size pieces, if necessary. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper.
2. Place fish on the greased unheated rack of a boiler pan, turning any thin portions under to make uniform thickness. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until fish begins to flake easily when tested with a fork (allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish).
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together cilantro, melted butter, lime peel, and lime juice. Spoon cilantro mixture over fish.
4. Makes 4 servings
