It's a Keeper!

Tonight's menu is featuring Orange Roughy (you gotta change to 100g on that site to see the data about this fish). It's a light flavored fish but is more filling than other white fish on the market. It's also not nearly as fat as even halibut.

Cooking fish is always a tricky business because it's such a delicate flavor. I'm starting tonight with garlic butter. :) WHAT? On Phase 2?? Yep. Garlic butter. Here's the trick to that one:

Garlic Butter (10 calories)

1 clove fresh garlic, minced

1t butter buds (10 calories)

3t water

In small dish, mix the butter buds and water together. Add minced garlic and let stand at least 10 minutes so the flavors mingle together.

Garlic Butter (10 calories)

1 grissini stick

1t lime juice

salt & pepper to taste

In ramekin, place orange roughy in center. Squirt lime juice over the fish, then top with crunched up grissini stick (not pulverized into a powder - leave some chunks in there, too). Pour garlic butter over the grissini stick, then salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350* for about 7 minutes or until fish flakes off with a fork.
