Orange Roughy with Ginger/Lime Marinade

Before I begin this post I feel the need to insert a quick apology... :}
It occurred to me only today that quite often I add in many little "shortcuts" that I take with my recipes (i.e., minced garlic instead of the real stuff,etc.,etc.) and I realized most of you probably don't need my jr. cooking sidenotes! So, sorry for that--I'll try to be better about posting the recipes without so much running commentary! :)

O.k., on to the marinade (I don't know what it is with me and marinades these days)...I got this one off the side of the orange roughy fillet package and thought it was yummy!

Ingredients:
1 pkg orange roughy fillets
3 fresh limes
1 tsp lemon pepper
1 onion finely chopped
1 piece of fresh ginger, grated
1 large garlic clove, minced

Instructions:
Finely grate the rind of one lime, squeeze the juice from all three.
Mix the juice, lemon pepper, chopped onion, grated ginger and minced garlic in bowl.
Add thawed fillets and coat with the mixture.
Let marinade for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Drain fillets and place into lightly greased oven pan.
Baste with mixture.
Place into preheated oven for 6 minutes; check fillets for doneness--do not overcook.

I served this with a mixed vegetable medley and brown rice pilaf.

P.S. If any of you have other great ways to cook fish--please post them, I've decided our family needs to eat more of it!
