Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the brown rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the broccoli, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tilapia

    In another skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the tilapia fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillets before removing from heat.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    To serve, place a portion of the rice on each plate, top with sautéed vegetables, and then add a tilapia fillet on top. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional lemon juice if desired.
