delicious and Cals 240.0, Fat 3.0, Protein 51, Carbs 0.  I highly recommend.

Look at those lazy bones!  They're darling  :)

Princess, looks like your place would be good for a party w/a band and a beer wagon.  I'll bring a dish to pass, you set up the rest OK?

Pre-heated to 425, then cooked for about 15 minutes

Last night I tried Pollack frozen fillet.  Same cooking method and spices.  It tasted good but not as good as the orange roughy.   2 fillets were 160 cals, 1 g fat, 36g protein, 0g carbs.

When I lived in LA I loved Orange Roughy.  I would buy a whole bunch of it, wrap each one loosely in foil, add a little butter, garlic and maybe a little pepper and seal it.  Stick it in the freezer and when hungry just take out a foil packet throw it in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes.  Awesome! and easy.  Nowadays I eat only Mahi Mahi, Ahi, Marlin and Shark.

Last night I did Tilapia, which again wasn't as good as the orange roughy (then again Tilapia was about half the cost).

Are you dieting for a show?  If not I have a great recipe that's pretty healthy, but it probably wouldn't be acceptable for pre-contest other than a cheat meal.

i love halibut on the grill....

It's grilled in the recipe WOOO....maybe I'll post it here tomorrow anyway :)
