Fish Over Rice Pilaf Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice Pilaf

   In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the rice to the saucepan and stir for 2 minutes until the rice is coated and lightly toasted. Pour in the chicken broth and add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

3. 3

   Cook the Fish

   While the rice is cooking, season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.

4. 4

   Serve

   Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and place a generous serving on each plate. Top with a piece of fish, a slice of lemon, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
