Opah with Brown Rice and Vegetables

Here is another dinner under 10 minutes that I love!

Opah is a wonderful fish, similar to Tuna, and it's in season now. It's lean and delicious. Ingredients: Opah (fresh from Whole Foods or The Fish Market preferably) (2 pieces, about 8 oz each) At Trader Joe's: Organic brown rice (frozen) Vegetable Melange (frozen veggies) Lemons or lemon juice From your pantry: Sea salt Extra virgin olive oil

Olive oil spray Cookware: 2 frying pans A small bowl for the rice Steps:

Start with the veggies:

• Heat one of the fry pan on medium / medium-high heat.

• Spray a bit of olive oil spray.

• Once the pan is hot, add 1/2 or 1/3 of the bag of veggies in the pan.

• Stir every few minutes.

• Once cooked, reduce to very low heat.

• Put the brown rice in the microwave, (be sure to poke the bag with holes with a sharp knife first), cook for 3 minutes.

As soon as the rice starts in the microwave, get ready to sear the Opah!

• Heat the 2nd pan on high, add a teaspoon of olive oil in the pan

• Add the Opah in the pan and sear undisturbed 2 to 3 minutes on each side

• The Opah should be pink in the center and golden on each side

• Pour the cooked brown rice in a medium bowl, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle sea salt

• Serve the brown rice, veggies and Opah with a side of lemon juice or lemon halves

Pair with iced tea, lemonade, white wine or sparkling wine. Enjoy!
