This recipe brings a zesty twist to the classic baked orange roughy, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the fish.
Place the orange roughy fillets in a greased baking dish.
Arrange the fillets in a single layer for even cooking.
Sprinkle the fillets with seasoning salt, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Drizzle the melted butter over the fillets evenly.
Use a brush to spread the butter for better coverage.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish at the 15-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the baked fillets before serving.
The lemon juice enhances the flavor and adds a refreshing touch.
