Broiled Orange Roughy w/Sun-Dried Tomatoes -- Serves 4
1 cp diced tomatoes
1/4 cp defatted chicken broth
4 dry-pack sun-dried tomatoes chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp prepared pesto
4 orange roughy fillets
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Preheat the broiler for 10+ mins depending upon your oven. In a 10" skillet combine the tomatoes, broth, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir for 3 mins. Add the parsley and pesto; stir well and remove from the heat.
Place the orange roughy fillets on a nonstick broiler pan (I generally line the pan with tinfoil and spray it with Pam for easy clean-up). Sprinkle with the oil, salt and pepper. Broil for 3-5 mins or until the fish is lightly browned and flakes easily when lightly pressed with a fork. Spoon the sauce over each portion before serving.
