Herbed Rice with Fish

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups basmati rice
• 1 cup mixed fresh herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro)
• 4 fillets white fish fillets
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the 1.5 cups basmati rice in cold water until clear, then soak in fresh water for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   In a large pot, bring 4 cups salted water to a boil. Add the soaked rice and cook until just tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   While the rice cooks, pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

4. 4

   Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook until golden and flaky, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

6. 6

   Add the 1 cup chopped fresh herbs and the juice of 1 lemon to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2 minutes, until herbs are wilted and aromatic.

7. 7

   Combine the cooked rice with the herb mixture in a large bowl, tossing gently to distribute the herbs evenly.

8. 8

   Serve the herbed rice topped with the fish fillets and extra lemon wedges if desired.
