Mediterranean Baked Orange Roughy

The following recipe and photography were provided by local blogger Carolyn Hodges of The Dinner Shift.

A healthy seafood dinner is possible any night of the week with Heinen’s wild-caught frozen fish! This Mediterranean-inspired recipe features Heinen’s frozen orange roughy, though you can swap it for cod or sockeye salmon varieties. The best part? No thawing necessary. The frozen fish bakes from frozen to perfectly cooked in under 30 minutes.

Good-quality canned tomatoes are key to this recipe! Look for Heinen’s own canned San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes. Imported from Italy, these tomatoes are sweeter and less acidic than other canned varieties. Simmered with Heinen’s Greek olive mix, they make for a perfectly balanced sauce that doesn’t overpower the fish.
