Easy Citrus Fish

With the state of the ocean today, it is difficult to find fresh fish. I used to go to the fish counter with an idea in my head of what I would purchase, but these days the upbringing of the fish constantly comes in to question.

Well, the ONLY fish this week at the HEB fish counter that was not farm raised was the orange roughy (which isn't orange at all, rather a delightful white fish). Keeping with the name of the fish, I decided to citrus it up! Here you are, pescatarians...

Double Orange Citrus Roughy

Line a shallow casserole dish with thick orange slices
Place Roughy filets (rinsed and patted dry) atop the bed of orange slices
Top with salt, pepper, lemon and lime slices, and a few cilantro sprigs
Bake on 400 ºF for 20–25 minutes, until fish is flaky in the middle

Side Suggestion: Coconut-Cilantro Jasmine Rice

Make 1 cup Jasmine Rice according to package
During the last two minutes of cooking, add chopped cilantro (to taste)
After rice is done, mix in 2 tsp. of the thick cream from a can of coconut cream
