how long to bake orange roughy
The baking time for orange roughy depends on the thickness of the fillets and the temperature of your oven. Here’s a general guide:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the orange roughy fillets with your desired spices, herbs, or lemon.
- Place the fillets on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes per inch of thickness (measured at the thickest part of the fillet).
- The fish is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
For example:
- Thin fillets (about 1 inch thick) will take 10–12 minutes.
- Thicker fillets (about 1.5 inches thick) will take 15–18 minutes.
Keep an eye on the fish to prevent overcooking, as it can become dry. Let it rest for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy!
