Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Marinate the fish fillets in this mixture for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until tender.
  3. Once the rice is cooked, stir in chopped parsley and dill, then cover to keep warm.
  4. Prepare a steamer basket over boiling water. Place the marinated fish fillets and sliced vegetables in the steamer. Steam for 10-12 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  5. To serve, place a scoop of herbed rice on each plate, top with steamed fish, and arrange the vegetables alongside.
