How to Make Fish With Creole Rice

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook gently until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 teaspoon of thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon of oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice, 1 3/4 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
  6. Meanwhile, season 2 (6-ounce) fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  7. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a separate lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.
  8. Serve the fish over the Creole rice. Garnish with extra fresh parsley and green onions.
