JoJoleys Wins!! Upon entering the pantry, I discovered the Lemon Pepper was gone! So, thinking quickly, I substitued a tsp of kosher salt and1 tsp black pepper mixed with 3 tblspns of lemon juice. I was fresh out of olive oil so I substituted Coconut oil instead.
This was the first time EVER that my family had Orange Roughy in any manner. Ages 8 - 15, they all Loved it!! Woo Hoo, this will be repeated again!

Ok, let's go! Less than one hour.
Wash your fish with cool water. Pat dry with paper towel. Take some olive oil and smear over both sides. Dash on some lemon pepper, dill, and a bit of squeeze lemon juice. Also, orange juice would work out as well.
Now, this is the secret. Take your fish and wrap in waxed paper and put into a paper bag, of course you will need to cut the bag, if it's one of the larger bags, which is no problem. Just fold over and tape if necessary. And the easy part is bake it in your oven on a pan, any pan, cookie sheet will work at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. That's all!
Presto! It's done, tender and perfect. You never want to overcook fish! It gets tough and loses it flavor and, it's just not a good thing.
Hope this helps you out. And I hope I'm not too late in answering.
This is one of my favorites, as you can do this to any fish. Bake in waxed paper, wrapped in a paper bag in your oven. And you can experiment with other seasonings.
