Orange Roughy Veracruz Recipe

Orange Roughy Veracruz Recipe

  • 4 orange roughy or red snapper fillets
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can Mexican-style diced tomatoes
  • 12 pimiento-stuffed olives, halved
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree F (180C). Coat an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20-cm) baking dish with nonstick spray. Place the fillets in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the lime juice and oregano. Set aside.
  2. Warm the oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 or 6 minutes or until soft. Add the tomatoes, olives, and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Spoon over the fillets. Cover tightly with foil.
  3. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
