Zesty Baked Orange Roughy Recipe
"I've been baking fish like this for years. Even with a little butter, it's relatively low fat, especially if you use non fat mayo. The mayo mixture is also quite nice as a dipping sauce for artichokes. Also, any white fish can be substituted. And if you have some herbs on hand, add them either to the dipping sauce or the mayo mixture."

Wonderful! I cooked it for 25 minutes as "duo_mom" suggested. However, I used finely chopped onions (didn't have any shallots), used 1/3 cup bottled lemon juice (didn't have a fresh lemon) and it turned out terrific! This recipe is going to be a standard for my house! Thanks! -
I liked it, however, I would definitely recommend cooking it the full 25 minutes if not a little more, so you don't experience undercooked fish. Which is a huge turn off for people who don't really care for fish, but want to go outside of their comfort zone. Overall, okay. -
I'm going 4 stars as that was the concensus at the dinner table. I thought 5 appropriate, my husband and son thought 3. I am the fish lover. This just might have been too mild for them. -
I loved this recipe! I just bought the orange roughy for the first time and saw this recipe and decided to try it. I had all the ingredients except the shallots so subbed them with green onions. This was soooo delicious! My husband loved it as well. I will use this recipe on other white fillets too. This is definitely a keeper!! Thanks!

This was so easy and my boyfriend proclaimed it "the best orange roughy he ever had." I subbed green onions for shallots and olive oil for butter. I would make this dish if I needed to impress someone!

Very nice change for serving fish. It would be good with any light fish. I used onions instead of shallots, I didn't have any. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
