Ingredients

    • 2 orange roughy fillets, each 4 ounces
    • 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges

Directions

Preheat the broiler (grill). Position the rack 4 inches from the heat source. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Place the fish in the prepared baking sheet. Squeeze the juice from 2 lemon wedges over each fillet. Sprinkle with thyme.

Broil (grill) until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with a tip of a knife, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Serve immediately.
