A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender orange roughy fillets topped with a creamy lemon dill sauce and a crispy Parmesan crust.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
Lightly grease a baking dish and place the orange roughy fillets in a single layer.
Using a non-stick spray or a light coat of oil prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, juice of the lemon and lime, Dijon mustard, and chopped dill.
Mixing the sauce thoroughly ensures a consistent flavor.
Spread the sauce evenly over the fish fillets.
Covering the fillets completely with sauce keeps them moist during baking.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the sauce.
Adding the cheese at this stage allows it to form a crispy crust.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then switch to broil for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top.
Keep an eye on the broiling step to avoid burning the topping.
Serve the baked fish hot, garnished with a sprig of dill or a lemon wedge if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the best texture and flavor.
