How to make it

2 servings · 15 min prep · 25 min cook

1. 1

   Gather and measure

   Rinse rice. Pat fish very dry. Keep two pans: one pot for rice, one pan for fish.

   Set every ingredient on the counter first so you are not hunting mid-cook.

2. 2

   Cook jeera rice

   Heat 1 teaspoon oil, crackle cumin seeds, add rice, 1¾ cups water and salt. Cover and cook on low 12–14 minutes. Rest 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Season and grill fish

   Rub fillets with cumin powder, salt and a little oil. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

4. 4

   Plate

   Fluff rice, add fish, and squeeze lemon over the fish only. Serve at once.
