Lemon-Orange Orange Roughy
  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Place the fillets in the hot oil. Drizzle with orange juice and lemon juice, then sprinkle the fillets with lemon pepper. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
