Indoor Grilling:
Definitely Not Roughin' It Orange Roughy Fillets Packet

 

You can substitute any mild fish in this recipe. Farm raised catfish, snapper, or halibut are other good choices. If you're trying to avoid salt in your diet, substitute a seasoning like Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper seasoning for the sea or kosher salt.

Makes 2 Servings
2 orange roughy fillets, about 3/4-inch thick
Sea or kosher salt
Freshly ground white or black pepper
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped basil leaves
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  1. Plug in your indoor grill and allow it to preheat.
  2. Rinse fillets in water and dry thoroughly between pieces of paper towels.
  3. Tear off a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil about twice the width of the fish fillets laid side by side. Spray the middle of the foil with nonstick cooking spray, leaving about a two-inch perimeter around the foil uncoated.
  4. Arrange the fillets side by side and flat-side down on the foil. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Top the fillets with the mushrooms and basil. Drizzle the wine and olive oil over the fillets. (If not using fresh basil, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried basil per fillet or substitute 1/2 teaspoon of Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper instead.)
  6. Fold the foil over and crimp the edges to form a packet. Tear off another equal-sized piece of heavy-duty foil. Place the fish packet in the center of this piece of foil. Fold the ends up over the packet so the resulting seam is at the top and crimp the other edges. (This should prevent any of the juices from escaping the packet and running onto the grill. Why should you have to clean it when you're done? This helps ensure that you don't.)
  7. Place the packet on the grill, close the lid, and grill for 20 minutes. Allow to rest for a minute or two before you open the packet. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges.
