Ingredients

    For Fish:
    4 - 6oz orange roughy fillets
    1/4 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1 tablespoon water
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon margarine or butter
    1/2 teaspoon sugar
    dash of salt
    1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

    For Rice:
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1 cup basmati rice
    2 cups water
    2 whole cloves
    1/8 teaspoon saffron or turmeric

Directions

Preheat oven to 350

1. Thaw fish, if frozen. In a small bowl combine orange peel, orange juice, water, lemon juice, margarine or butter, sugar, ginger, and salt.

2. Place fish on the unheated, lightly greased rack of a small broiler pan. Brush fish with some of the orange mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven; keep warm.

3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine remaining orange mixture and cornstarch. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir for 2 minutes more.

4. Over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium). Cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup basmati rice, 2 cups water, 2 whole cloves, and 1/8 teaspoon saffron or turmeric. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
