Orange Roughy With Tarragon

Recipe #90759 | 30 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Threw this together tonight--we loved it! The tarragon is a wonderful ingredient in this dish. Ingredients are VERY MUCH approximated. I made enough orange roughy for two of us. It depends on the size of orange roughy you use--just eyeball it. Olive oil does not need to cover fish when it goes into the oven, because the fish will cook down and eventually get covered with it anyway.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. 2
    In a glass baking dish, arrange orange roughy fillets and cover with olive oil.
  3. 3
    Sprinkle with tarragon, paprika and kosher salt.
  4. 4
    Bake for 25 minutes if fillets are frozen.
  5. 5
    Check to be sure they are done--you can usually tell by looking, because the fish will have shrunk quite a bit from cooking.
  6. 6
    It will also flake when prodded with a fork.
  7. 7
    I served this with some roasted brussel sprouts (roasted in a 375 degree oven at the same time as the fish was cooking, sprinkled with olive oil and kosher salt. YUM!).

Outstanding! This recipe is perfect as-is, but I added broccoli with the fish and used the drippings to flavor a side of brown rice. On a sad side note, I learned that orange roughy is a vulnerable species. It takes them about 25 years to mature, and they may live to be up to 150 years old. Knowing that now I'll be consuming much less, but I have a feeling I'll alway use this recipe.

    Wow! We loved this. I used Gurnard fillets in place of Orange Roughy and it worked well. I love the smell of tarragon and while it was cooking my stomach was grumbling. This is one of those recipes that has few ingredients but the taste is incredible. Great recipe.

    This was such an innovative and a delightful way to prepare orange roughy. Basically you throw in the frozen fish, top it and bake it and tah dah dinner is ready. I did cut back the oil to 1 tablespoon without a problem, and the tarragon was a very nice paring with the fish. This is surely a recipe I will turn to on days when I just don't feel like cooking or am running late. Thank you Meow for sharing the recipe. It is one that I am sure to return to.
