Hi Barbara - Here is a very easy recipe that we've had in my family for years. It was originally for sole, but orange roughy is a great substitute. I use the sauce on broiled fish, too, without going through the breading process.
Fish with Sauce Colbert
4 fish fillets 1/2 cup flour 2 beaten eggs 3 cups soft bread crumbs 6 TBL butter For sauce: 4 TBL butter 1 TBL minced fresh parsley 1 tsp lemon juice (or a bit more, to taste) 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1/4 tsp dry mustard pinch salt pepper
Coat the fish in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg and then coat with breadcrumbs. Cook in large frying pan in 6 TBL butter on both sides until fish is cooked and crumbs are brown. In a separate small saucepan, melt butter and add remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer on very low heat for a few minutes to blend flavors and serve over fish filets. |
