Answer 2

Take a fresh or defrosted frozen fish filet (tilapia for example). Start boiling water for instant rice with some salt. Chop up a bit of onion, garlic, tomato, mushrooms (optional), small, and any (preferably fresh) herb like thyme, cilantro, dill, or parsley. Toss the onions in a frying pan with a little oil (and mushrooms if you want them) & salt. When the onions start getting translucent, add the garlic for about a minute, then the tomatoes and a good squeeze of lime juice. Take it off the heat after a minute and pour into a bowl. Give the pan a quick wipe with a paper towel (don’t burn yourself), and add the fish with a little oil. It only takes a couple minutes to cook a thin filet on each side. When it’s almost done on the second side, give it another good squeeze of lime, and plate it with a good amount of your “salsa” over top of the fish and the rice. I’m no cooking whiz but this takes me about 15 minutes to get together, especially if I cheat and just shove the veggies off to the side of the pan while I cook the fish. But it tastes great and you can even serve it for guests (with some real rice instead of instant). Also, bell pepper works if you haven’t got tomato, and you can even do this with boneless chicken breast instead of fish.
