This classic dish of fish and rice combines two simple yet flavorful components into a satisfying meal. To prepare this meal, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh or frozen fish fillets (e.g., cod, salmon, tilapia)
- 2 cups of uncooked white rice
- A few cloves of garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
- Fresh or dried herbs of choice (optional)
- Lemon wedges for serving
Firstly, cook the rice according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, season your fish fillets with salt, pepper, and herbs as desired. Heat some olive oil or melted butter in a large pan over medium heat.
