Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) fillets orange roughy
0.5 lemon lemon
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.25 cup butter, softened
0.25 cup prepared Dijon mustard mayonnaise blend
1 large clove garlic, pressed
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon paprika, or to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler element.
Arrange the orange roughy fillets on a broiler pan and squeeze fresh lemon juice evenly over each fillet.
Broil the fillets in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, Dijionnaise or Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Spread this Parmesan mixture generously over the top of each fillet. Lightly sprinkle with paprika.
Continue broiling until the topping turns a light golden brown and the fish easily flakes with a fork, approximately 3 minutes.
