Ingredients
4 portions brown rice (about 1 cup uncooked)
¼ cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp Italian seasoning
(or simply use Italian- seasoned breadcrumbs)
1 egg white
4 portions orange roughy fillets (about 1 ½ lbs)
3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, divided
4 small zucchinis
½ red onion, chopped
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1 lemon, halved
Preparation
- Prepare brown rice according to package directions.
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a pie plate, combine breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly foamy.
- Lightly brush both sides of the orange roughy fillets with the egg white and then coat with breadcrumbs. Arrange fillets on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of parsley. Bake until the orange roughy is opaque throughout, approximately 20 minutes.
- While the orange roughy is baking, lightly coat a large skillet with butter-flavored cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Slice zucchini diagonally in ¼ inch slices. Add zucchini and onion to skillet; cook for about 2 minutes. Turn zucchini slices and cook until tender, about 2 more minutes.
- Stir the remaining fresh parsley and grated lemon peel into the cooked rice.
- Place a portion of orange roughy onto each of the 4 plates and top with a squeeze of lemon. Add a portion of rice and about ¼ of the zucchini. Serve and enjoy!
