Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a shallow pan, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt and garlic powder.
Coat a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Dip the fillets in the butter and dredge in the crumb mixture.
Arrange the fillets in a single layer in the baking dish and sprinkle with parsley.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Choose Fresh Fillets: When selecting Orange Roughy fillets, opt for fresh fish if possible. Fresh fillets will have a delicate flavor and firm texture, enhancing the overall taste and presentation of the dish. If fresh fillets are not available, ensure that the frozen ones are properly thawed before cooking.
Enhance Flavor with Citrus: Consider adding a hint of citrus to elevate the flavor profile of the dish. Before dipping the fillets in butter, try brushing them with a light coating of freshly squeezed orange juice or sprinkling them with orange zest. This will impart a subtle citrusy aroma and tangy taste to the fish, complementing the savory garlic and Parmesan flavors.
Monitor Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the fish while it bakes to avoid overcooking, which can result in dry and tough fillets. Orange Roughy cooks relatively quickly, so check for doneness after about 15 minutes of baking. The fillets should easily flake with a fork and appear opaque throughout. If necessary, adjust the baking time accordingly based on the thickness of the fillets to ensure they are cooked to perfection without becoming dry.
