Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another cooking adventure. Today, I decided to tackle something new – grilling orange roughy. Now, I’ve had this fish before, but grilling it? That’s a first for me.
So, I started by prepping the fish. I kept it pretty simple: just some salt and pepper. I read somewhere that you don’t want to overpower a good piece of fish, and orange roughy, from my experience, has a nice, mild flavor. I was curious to see how it would hold up on the grill.
Next up was the marinade. I whipped up something quick with stuff I already had in the kitchen: olive oil, minced garlic, and some finely chopped onion. I let the fish soak in that goodness for a bit while I got the grill going.
I used my gas grill for this. I preheated it to a medium-high heat, aiming for that perfect sear without turning the fish into charcoal. Once the grill was hot, I carefully placed the marinated orange roughy on the grates. I made sure not to overcrowd the grill to get an even cook.
I cooked the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side. The key was to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist and flaky. I used a spatula to gently flip the fillets, making sure they didn’t stick or fall apart. It was a bit of a delicate dance, but I managed to pull it off.
- Prepping the fish: Salt, pepper – that’s it.
- Marinade: Olive oil, garlic, onion. Easy peasy.
- Grilling: Medium-high heat, 4-5 minutes per side.
Once the fish was done, I took it off the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making the fish even more tender. I served it up with a side of grilled veggies, and let me tell you, it was a hit!
The orange roughy had a beautiful sear, and the inside was perfectly cooked – flaky and moist. The marinade added a nice touch of flavor without being too much. Overall, I’d say this grilling experiment was a success. If you’re looking for an easy and tasty way to enjoy fish, give grilled orange roughy a try. You won’t be disappointed!
That’s it for today’s cooking adventure. Catch you guys next time!
