Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it in the oil and onion mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the chopped parsley, spinach, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, season the fish fillets with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- After 15 minutes, remove the lid from the skillet and place the seasoned fish fillets on top of the rice. Top with lemon slices.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can marinate the fish in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before baking.
- Substitute the white fish with salmon or shrimp for a different taste and texture.
