Tip

Fresher Fish Tip

Explains Doris C. of Michigan City, Indiana, “I marinate fish fillets in lemon juice and salt for 15 minutes. It makes the flesh firmer and easier to handle, and gives the fish a fresh taste.”

Pretty mild dish, I might add some seasoning to the fish or maybe use a different "rice mix," i.e., Rice-A-Roni flavor. The rice mix was a little smushy, I would try simmering it just a little less before adding the fish. Quick and easy to make, though.
