Recipe:
1. Pat dry the orange roughy fillet, season it lightly with salt and pepper and dredge it in the flour.
2. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the orange roughy on both sides until lightly golden.
3. Transfer the fish in a baking dish over parchment paper and bake it in a preheated oven at high temperature for another 7-8 minutes.
4. For the saffron rice: Boil the rice and toss it in a pan with the sofrito sauce (the sauce for authentic paellas).
5. While the orange roughy fillet is baking, combine the heavy cream, dill, lemon juice and little black pepper in a small pan and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce the lemon dill sauce slightly and pour it over the ready fish.
Interesting info: The orange roughy is a deep-sea, cold water fish. It grows very slowly, reaching maturity at 20 to 30 years of age, and can live up to 150 years.
