Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes
-
1 cup
jasmine rice
-
2 cups
water
-
1 zest and juice of
lemon
-
4 cups
reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
-
1 pound
tilapia fillets or other firm white fish
-
4 cups
bite-size pieces arugula or watercress, tough stems removed (about 1 bunch)
-
1 cup
finely shredded carrots
-
1/4 cup
very thinly sliced fresh mint
-
2
scallions, finely chopped
- Combine rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Stir in lemon zest and juice.
- Meanwhile, bring broth to a simmer in another medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so the broth remains steaming, but not simmering. Add fish and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and break into bite-size chunks.
- Divide the lemony rice among 4 bowls. Top with equal portions of the fish, arugula (or watercress), carrot, mint and scallions. Ladle 1 cup of the warm broth into each bowl and serve.
