These orange roughy recipes are easy, tasty ways to mix up your protein. The mild flavor and flaky meat pairs well with almost any seasoning, sauce, or sides and holds up to almost any form of cooking. This list of recipes offers up interesting and flavorful ways to enjoy this versatile fish!

Roughy, aka slimeheads (hey, I’m just reporting the facts here) are a saltwater fish that popped up on the culinary scene in the mid 1970s. These New Zealand natives are slow growers, living up to 150 years, though they’re typically caught between ages 30 and 50. It’s important to remember that, because of its age, this fish can have high levels of mercury.

Orange roughy has a mild, delicate taste, sort of similar to tilapia or flounder, so if you’re someone who doesn’t like “fishy” fish, this might be a good option for you! The flaky, moist meat is low in fat and just oily enough to maintain a lot of moisture when cooked.

Of course, what you pair with your fish dish matters! We love a side of Air Fryer Asparagus or Green Beans Almondine or even just a small side salad with our orange roughy.
