Tinfoil Chef

I’ve never actually had Orange Roughy (then again I’ve never vacationed in St. Thomas villa rentals either), in fact, I had to look it up on a search engine to find out that it’s a variety of deep sea pearch. All in all, it sounds good but I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for “wally world” to carry it in this neck of the sticks.

Mix 1/4 cup melted butter and a half cup of sliced almonds and then saute them to a golden brown.

In a shallow baking pan, lay out two pounds of Orange Roughy fillets in a single layer. Sprinkle it with a couple teaspoons of lemon or lime juice. Spoon the almond margarine mixture over the fish.

Sprinkle with a teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and a quarter cup of chopped parsley. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Then uncover and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with lemon and / or lime wedges.
