Tilapia with Jasmine Lemon Rice and Peas

My first venture with cooking fish.  I will definitely make this again!

Rinse 1 cup brown Jasmine rice, then put in a pan with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then cover and let simmer for about 45 minutes.


Grate the peel of a fresh lemon to make about 1 tablespoon lemon zest.

Chop up some fresh parsley-say 3-4 tablespoons.

When you have about fifteen minutes left on your rice:
Cook your peas-according to package directions.

Heat a skillet on high with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Add your tilapia fillets when the oil begins to smoke a little.
Turn after about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cook another 4-5 minutes.

Mix the jasmine rice, parsley, and lemon zest.  Squeeze half a lemon into the mix.  Don't get too crazy here unless you really love lemon!
 
Strain the peas and add them the rice mix or serve on the side.  I think it tastes better all mixed together.

Another delicious, healthy meal!
