Sesame Orange Roughy

My husband and I enjoyed this at a restaurant in South Florida and I mimicked the recipe until it tasted just right. I love to imitate our favorite dishes and add my own twist to each one. That way I can be mindful of the ingredients that are being used and I can assure that the meal doesn’t contain a frightening amount of hidden fat, salt or calories. Serve this with wild rice, cous cous, pasta, potatoes, carrots or greens.
