Method
Prepare Fish
- 1
Blacken or Grill the Fish
Season the fish fillets with your choice of spices (e.g., paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through, or grill on a preheated grill for similar timing until flaky.
Cook Rice and Beans

Prepare Red Jasmine Rice
In a saucepan, combine the red jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
