Mediterranean Style Orange Roughy

shimmerchk's Note:

This is my absolute favorite fish recipe for its wonderful flavor and ease of preparation. I love Mediterranean food and the mild, tender Roughy is a fantastic compliment to the fresh and vibrant feta, caper and tomato topping. This is a great, healthy recipe that will have you feeling like you just ate in a fancy restaurant. I adapted this recipe from a recipe found at epicurious.com. As usual, substituting or eliminating any ingredients will greatly change the flavor as each ingredient compliments the other.

I made this for my boyfriend last night. He LOVED it. I would probably add a little more onion or garlic and you can sub Greek Yourget (which I do, my sweetie isn't a fan of sour cream). This looks and smells amazing! ENJOY!

I was so excited to make this dish, and it did not disappoint. It was AMAZING. I followed the recipe to a T (included the white wine), and it was delicious. TONS of flavor, great texture, and sooooo easy to make (the hardest part was the rice pilaf I made as a side dish). My husband loved it as well. I cannot wait to make it again.
