# Ingredient List:
→ Fish
01 - 4 tilapia fillets (about 5.3 oz each)
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
04 - 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
→ Rice
07 - 1 cup long-grain white rice
08 - 2 cups water
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Vegetables
10 - 2 cups broccoli florets
11 - 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil for tossing vegetables
13 - Salt and pepper to taste
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of each fillet with the herb mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Bake tilapia for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
04 - While the fish bakes, bring 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
05 - Meanwhile, steam broccoli florets and carrot slices in a steamer basket over simmering water for 5 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender. Optionally, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
06 - Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top each portion with a tilapia fillet and a generous portion of steamed vegetables.
