Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat.
  2. Trim green beans. Thinly slice scallions, separating whites and greens. Quarter the lemon.
  3. Toss green beans on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Pat tilapia dry; drizzle with oil and season with half the paprika blend, salt and pepper. Place on the empty side of the sheet. Roast on top rack until green beans are tender and tilapia is cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
  4. In a small pot, combine scallion whites, three-bean blend and its liquid, stock concentrate and remaining paprika blend. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and liquid has reduced by half, 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  5. In a small bowl, mix sour cream with juice from one lemon wedge. Season with salt and pepper. Fluff rice with a fork.
  6. Divide rice, three-bean blend, green beans and tilapia between plates. Drizzle fish with lemon crema and garnish with scallion greens. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.

Recipe Tips

For extra crisp green beans, spread them in a single layer and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.

If your tilapia fillets are thick, you may need an extra minute or two of roasting time.

The lemon crema can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
