Herb Crusted Orange Roughy
I included this recipe for anyone that is intimidated by the thought of making fish. This is absolutely the easiest fish recipe ever! You can substitute any white flaky fish, such as tilapia, cod or flounder for the orange roughy. You can also substitute the herbs de Provence with another fresh or dried herb of choice. Try to include a fish dinner 1-2 times per week – it will do a heart good! Makes 2 servings.

Ingredients:
2 6-8 ounce orange roughy filets
3 tbsp seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tsp salted butter, cut into thin shavings to place on top of fish
1 tbsp herbs de Provence
salt
pepper
Cooking spray
Lemon wedges

Directions:
Preheat over to 400 degrees. Season fish fillets on both sides with salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray and lay the fish fillets on top. Evenly spread the butter shavings on top of the fish fillets – should have about 3-4 pieces of butter on each fillet. Then sprinkle 1 _ tbsp of breadcrumbs over each piece of fish.

Place fish in to the oven, and cook for about 12 minutes – or until almost fully cooked. Then switch the over to broil, and allow the breading on the fish to get brown and crispy – about 2 additional minutes.

Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
