Orange roughy with lemon and thyme

Dietician's Tip

One serving of this broiled orange roughy has only 100 calories. Serve it with steamed fresh green beans, roasted red potatoes and whole-wheat rolls.

Ingredients

  • 2 orange roughy fillets, each 4 ounces
  • 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Directions

Heat the broiler (grill). Position the rack 4 inches from the heat source. Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray. Place the fish on the prepared baking dish. Squeeze the juice from 2 lemon wedges over the fillets. Sprinkle with thyme.

Broil (grill) until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining two lemon wedges.
