Pan Fried Orange Roughy
This pan fried orange roughy is light, refreshing and so simple to fix. If you don't have orange roughy, you
can subsitute it with Tilapia. For side dishes to serve with this, try asparagus and a rice pilaf.
You'll notice in the directions that after I coat the fillets I let them set.(about 10 minutes) This helps the breading stick better
to the fish when you are pan or deep frying.
