Ingredients
Rice:
-
2 teaspoons olive oil, or to taste
-
1 cup long-grain rice
-
2 cups coconut milk
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Fish:
-
2 (5 ounce) fillets tilapia
-
1 pinch lemon-pepper seasoning, or to taste
-
1 stick salted butter
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add rice and cook and stir until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add coconut milk, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, season tilapia fillets with lemon-pepper seasoning on both sides. Place in a glass pan. Break the stick of butter in half and place directly on top of the fillets.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until butter is fully melted and bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Ladle some of the butter back over the fish and reduce the oven temperature to 330 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
Bake in the preheated oven until fish looks just about done, 3 to 5 minutes more. Raise the temperature back to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake until the edges start to get golden brown. Serve with rice.
Cook's Note:
Another variation, add some cilantro while baking the fish and put some parsley in the rice!
