Poached Orange Roughy With Tarragon Sauce Recipes

ORANGE ROUGHY WITH TARRAGON AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Heat oil in large skillet and quickly cook vegetables (about 2-3 minutes on a medium-high heat).
• Take four large pieces of aluminum foil. Place one piece of fish on each.
• Top with 1/2 tablespoon butter, 1/4 of the vegetables and 1/4 of the tarragon.
• Repeat for the other pieces.
• Wrap tightly and place on grill.
• Grill over a medium heat for 12 - 18 minutes. Open carefully because the steam can be very hot.

ORANGE ROUGHY WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a glass baking dish, arrange orange roughy fillets and cover with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with tarragon, paprika and kosher salt.
• Bake for 25 minutes if fillets are frozen.
• Check to be sure they are done--you can usually tell by looking, because the fish will have shrunk quite a bit from cooking.
• It will also flake when prodded with a fork.
• I served this with some roasted brussel sprouts (roasted in a 375 degree oven at the same time as the fish was cooking, sprinkled with olive oil and kosher salt. YUM!).

ORANGE ROUGHY IN ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pepper both sides of the fish.
• Pour orange juice in a measuring cup (I used ready-made but imagine freshly squeezed from 2 oranges will be so much better), stir in lavender and white wine and set aside.
• Heat peanut oil (or use unsalted butter) in small skillet, stirring to coat until tender (5 minutes).
• Meanwhile in a large skillet, suitable for poaching fish, add orange juice mixture and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add fish and lower heat to a simmer until fish is tender and flakes with a fork (10 - 15 minutes). Remove fish to a platter and keep warm.
• Add orange liqueur, if using, to pan and turn up heat and reduce by half. Return fish to pan until heated through.
• Place fish on plates and top with vegetables, spooning sauce over fish.

POACHED ORANGES

Steps:

• Peel the oranges with a sharp knife, removing all the white membrane. Cut the oranges into half-inch> to three-quarter-inch-thick slices. Place the slices in a saucepan with the sugar and water. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer gently for five minutes.
• Carefully remove the orange slices from the syrup and place them in a serving dish. Cook the syrup to reduce it to approximately a half cup and pour it over the oranges.
• When cool or at serving time, sprinkle the oranges with the Grand Marnier. Decorate by placing the mint sprig in the center.

CITRUS POACHED ORANGE ROUGHY

Steps:

• Cut fish into 4-6 serving-size pieces.
• Combine orange juice, water and wine in large skillet. Bring to boil.
• Add fish pieces and return to a boil,then reduce heat to simmer.
• Simmer 7 or 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Transfer fish to warm serving platter.
• Mix melted butter and cilantro. Drizzle over fish. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Garnish platter with orange, lime and lemon slices.
