JOSHUA'S FAVORITE TILAPIA WITH JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Pour your dressing straight from the bottle into the pan, I usually make sure the bottom is covered but not too much, I gave approximate measures here.
• Place the fillets on top of the dressing in the pan.
• Sprinkle with all 4 seasonings (all the measurements I gave are approximate). I usually just sprinkle a generous amount on each filet. Don't leave out the cumin it is a wonderful addition to the fish.
• Saute the fillets on med-low heat approximate 4-5 minutes each side until fish flakes easy with a fork.
• While the fish is slowly cooking, cook the rice, using 2 1/2 cups water and 1 cup rice, with butter, bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes on low.
• Serve the fillet on top of the Jasmine rice. I will usually add more s&p and cumin according to my taste.
