Any suggestions for cooking Orange Roughy ?

Pretty simple one-pan dish for any white fish. It all comes together in about 30 minutes, and some of that is simmer time so you can be making the salad or the side during that time.

Do a mirepoix or sofrito or trinity, whatever you like. In olive oil obviously.
Add fennel seeds and sliced fennel bulb.
When that's translucent, add cherry tomatoes.
Cook those til they burst, like 10-12 minutes.
Add enough chicken or vegetable stock to cover the vegetables, and let that reduce by about half.
Salt/ pepper to taste at each step.
Nestle the fish in and braise til flaky. I like to add red pepper flakes somewhere along the way. The fennel + fish + just a little heat is really nice. You can serve as-is, or over farro or rice or whatever else is handy for soaking up sauce.

Thank you ! (Had to use a dictionary/thesaurus to understand some parts.)

Thanks again, but I don't think that I have the proper licenses to do some of the steps detailed above. (When I wrote "Greatest Cook In The World", I was exaggerating, plus I'm just an amateur.)

Wow ! DCUM has a lot of readers in a lot of places. Made a quick visit to Athens, Georgia yesterday. Folks there are really nice and everyone, and I do mean everyone, must be a DCUM reader because every single person with whom I had contact remarked "How 'bout them dogs !" I was overwhelmed. Nicest people in the world. Thank you DCUM.

This sounds good. I’m going to try it

Sounds like the OP is systematically responding to their own thread in a creepily upbeat vibe.

NP. My dog is quite large but somehow has never realized that if he rears up on his hind legs, he could help himself to anything on our kitchen counters. Thank god!!
