Orange Roughy Fish

 I haven't cooked Orange Roughy in recent memory, but it was at the grocery store and wild caught, so gave it a go.  So glad!  This turned out really flavorful for a mild fish.  

I served it with green beans sautéed in bacon grease (!) with chopped garlic, salt and cracked red pepper at the end.

Pat the fish dry and put on parchment paper sprayed with olive oil on a baking sheet.  

Brush with melted butter and season with the paprika, garlic salt, and lemon pepper.  Distribute the sliced garlic on top.

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees or until 145 degrees in center.

Cilantro Lime Chicken Thighs

I got some chicken thighs for a great deal and was looking for recipes that looked good and found this one on Modern Proper.  This is company-worthy, people.  Trevor, if you ever look at this, you would like it.

The original recipe said to cook these on the stovetop but a lot of reviews said they burned.  We grilled these and they were awesome--juicy and flavorful.  Other comments said they baked them with good results.  I'm going with either of those methods!



Cilantro Lime Chicken Thighs

1/3 c. EVOO

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 T. honey

Zest of 2 limes

Juice of 2 limes

1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro

2 T. chili powder

1 t. kosher salt

1/2 t. freshly cracked pepper

3 lbs. or so boneless, skinless chicken thighs


Mix all ingredients except for the chicken thighs in a bowl for a marinade.

Marinate the chicken for at least a few hours.

Grill or bake at 350 until 165 degrees inside.
