Mediterranean Style Orange Roughy

"This is my absolute favorite fish recipe for its wonderful flavor and ease of preparation. I love Mediterranean food and the mild, tender Roughy is a fantastic compliment to the fresh and vibrant feta, caper and tomato topping. This is a great, healthy recipe that will have you feeling like you just ate in a fancy restaurant. I adapted this recipe from a recipe found at epicurious.com. As usual, substituting or eliminating any ingredients will greatly change the flavor as each ingredient compliments the other."

  1. Delicious and presents beautifully! Used one yellow tomato and 8 heirloom cherry ones. So colorful. Served with broccoli and rice.
     
  2. I love capers but was out, so I used Greek Calamata olives instead. No red onion so I used Vidalia. As for sour cream, never use it so I added plain Greek yogurt instead. OMG!!! Fabulous!!!!!!
     
  3. Bravo!! Two thumbs up!! The thing that makes this recipe great is it is perfect as written, and if you don't have an item or two in stock, you can substitute and it is still delicious. I've substituted calamato olives for the capers (though I LOVE capers...but didn't have them) It came out great, valdalia onion instead of red? I prefer red, but still came out great! No sour cream? Can use yogurt...still wonderful. I'm curious to try a variation with artichoke hearts. THANK YOU for such a tasty dish, one I will be making again and again....
     
  4. This was wonderful! I cut the recipe in half used tomato/basil feta and used a few more capers and onions...delicious! Thank you for sharing. Made for Diabetic Summer Trip in the Diabetic Forum 2013.
     
  5. I made this for my boyfriend last night. He LOVED it. I would probably add a little more onion or garlic and you can sub Greek Yourget (which I do, my sweetie isn't a fan of sour cream). This looks and smells amazing! ENJOY!

  1. Tasted great and was not fishy. Liked it a lot. I used regular sour cream instead of low-fat or light because that stuff is like glue and tastes like plastic- can't be good for you, but Yum to the Orange Roughy

<p>Hello, My name is Monica and I am a 35 year old, happily married mom of 2. After working as a project manager for many years, I currently am a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful daughter Hannah who is 10 years old,&amp; our sweet son Liam who is 6. I love being home with them! I am a Navy wife of 19 years. It is an adventurous, fun, sometimes stressful life but we are proud to be a Navy family in service of our country. <br />Cooking is one of my passions. I could sit down and read recipes like I would a regular novel. I would say I am more of a recipe gatherer rather than a recipe orginator. I do tweak things a lot to suit my families taste, but other than that I rely on recipes for ideas and technique. I find most of my own recipes have been posted in some form or another here, but I look forward to having more to add in the future. <br />I am an avid baker and also love international foods. Being half Thai, I love Thai food and have gotten my family to learn to appreciate it as well.</p>
