A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining tender tilapia fillets with aromatic jasmine rice, perfect for a quick yet satisfying meal.
Season the tilapia fillets with salt, black pepper, cumin, and minced garlic on both sides.
Let the seasoned fish rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fish to prevent sticking.
Cook the tilapia fillets in the pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden and flake easily with a fork.
Avoid flipping the fish too often to maintain its integrity.
In a saucepan, combine jasmine rice, water, and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking to ensure even steaming.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and serve it on plates.
Fluffing the rice prevents clumping and enhances its texture.
Place the cooked tilapia fillets on top of the rice and serve immediately.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
