Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) with the rack positioned slightly above the middle. Generously grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, Italian seasoned bread crumbs, salt, paprika, dill weed, and black pepper. Pour the milk into a separate bowl. (3 minutes)

03

Step
7 mins

Dip each orange roughy piece into the milk, ensuring it's lightly coated. Then, gently press the fish into the bread crumb mixture, coating all sides evenly. Delicately toss the pieces to remove any excess bread crumbs. Place the breaded orange roughy in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top. (7 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, approximately 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the breadcrumb mixture.
Ensure the baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.

    Next time, I might try adding a little Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for an extra cheesy flavor.

    The high oven temperature really helps to get the fish nice and crispy without drying it out.
