This is an amazingly easy and delicious recipe. The spice rub would be yummy on just about anything I think. I really liked the way the fish cooks by steaming on top of the rice. First, it makes the dish even easier, it saves energy, and it won't heat up your house as much in the summer. More importantly, the fish just melts in your mouth. The rice is also very tasty. Overall, this dish is a real winner!

Direcciones

  1. In a medium sauce pan, heat oil and butter over medium. Add onion and garlic and cook stirring occasionally until the onion is soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in rice and poppy seed and cook 1 minute. Stir in lemon zest and juice, broth, and zucchini and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium high then reduce to simmer, cover, and cook for 13 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle spice mix liberally over the fish until it is covered as if rubbed. Arrange snugly in a single layer, spice side up, on top of the rice and cook until rice is tender and fish is opaque throughout, about 5-7 minutes.

    This is just an excellent dish. I love the flavor and texture of steamed fish, and the spice rub on this one makes it very flavorful. The rice is also really wonderful and a great complement to the fish.
