Baked Orange Roughy

I made this fish quite some time ago from Trisha Yearwood's Georgia Cooking cookbook. I was holding out posting it until I could make it again & take better pictures but the time never comes since I love making new things, unless my husband begs for a repeater. So, look past the blurriness of the pic into the flakiness of the fish. It really was delicious. 


2 cups dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (or dried)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
6 orange roughy fillets
1 cup buttermilk, well shaken
Lemon wedges, for serving

Pre-heat oven to 375. In a large flat dish, mix first 8 ingredients. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Dip each fillet in the buttermilk & then coat it with crumbs, pressing to be sure they adhere. Arrange the fillets in the baking dish & bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with the lemon wedges.


{My Thoughts}

I used dried parsley. As always, use 1/3 of what the recipe states if you switch from fresh to dried herbs. 1/2 cup = 8 tblsp so I used just less than 3 tblsp of dried parlsey. I also used milk instead of buttermilk to cut down on fat & probably would again.

Deanna said...

I am going to try it. Out of all the things I love to cook, fish it something that I feel really insecure about, but my husband loves it the most. What is it they say? Try, try again.

I love Trisha Yearwood (Georgia girl, like me!!!), so I'd eat anything that comes from her cookbook. This looks FANTASTIC! I love roughy...so yeah, as usual, I clicked for the printable recipe.

Looks really good, I would probably want to use the buttermilk, it gives foods a different flavor that I like.

Netts Nook said...

I leave your site hungry each time I check in. Yum.

Erin said...

I am the same way with repeaters!
Looks good- I have never made fish!

Jessica said...

I was wondering if you use fresh fish or buy it frozen. Being in Iowa there's not very much "fresh" fish to choose from or it's super expensive. Let me know your thoughts on frozen fish.

Hope you had a great weekend!!
