This is a 100% homemade dish: the main dish is prepared simultaneously with a side dish; any sea or river fish with white meat is suitable for the role of fish - both whole and fillets or steaks - and in general you can come up with so many variations on this theme that there is no recipe book enough. And this is wonderful: when the fish is cooked together with rice and aromatic vegetables, all the ingredients are saturated with each other’s aromas, and when this splendor appears on the plate, its wonderful, rich taste turns out to be much more important than the deliberately careless, “homemade” appearance. There's something primal about it.
Fish and rice with vegetables
3-4 servings
1200 g fish with white meat or 800 g fillet
1 tbsp. rice
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 onion
1 carrot
1 stalk of celery
2 tbsp. water
olive
greenery
Drizzle the fish (cleaned, gutted and removed from the gills) with a little olive oil and season on all sides with salt and black pepper. Place some greens in the belly and set aside. Heat a little more oil - a couple of tablespoons - in a large saucepan, then fry finely chopped vegetables in it for several minutes. Add the washed rice to the frying pan, fry it along with the vegetables, then place the fish in the frying pan and add water. The water will boil - reduce the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for about 20 minutes: this time should be enough for both the fish and rice to be cooked.
These are the wonderful bettas I came across while searching for fish. Was it possible to pass by?..
Serve by placing the rice on a plate and removing the fillets from the bones to make it easier to eat (of course, if you prepared this dish with fillets or steaks rather than whole fish, place them as is). For this dish, as for any other white fish, be it baked, fried or boiled, a simple sauce is suitable: take a little olive oil, add finely chopped garlic and parsley, a spoon or two of lemon juice, salt, black pepper, everything stir and pour over fish.

Fish is my favorite food. Fortunately, we have all kinds of it, both river and sea. Of course, it is advisable to cook it in different ways, although sometimes the cooking methods are suitable for both fish. Fresh fish is also prepared a little differently than frozen fish. But in localities, as I read in the comments, it happens that the fish is only frozen and does not look very good. You know, sometimes they bring us fresh frozen pink salmon, but it’s scary to look at, but defrosted it’s excellent and nice to look at, so don’t pay attention. Today in the freezer I found a pink salmon fillet that looked like it had been lying around for quite some time. You will find out how we prepared it by reading and cooking with us, according to this recipe:

Different varieties and types of rice go harmoniously with fish: short-grain, long-grain, polished, unpolished, steamed, etc. Each type of rice has its own cooking time. Unpolished varieties require the most time; they are also healthier, for example, brown rice. Polished rice takes the least amount of time to cook.
The selected rice, such as basmati, needs to be washed in several waters.
What kind of sea fish fillet can you use for this dish?
The photo shows tilapia fillet, but almost any sea fish that you like or have in stock is suitable. We present the lists approximately in ascending order of cost per 1 kg.
White species of sea fish: pollock, pangasius, hake, tilapia, sole, catfish, greenling, flounder, pike perch, cod, sea bass, etc. Of these, the least fatty ones are: pollock, tilapia, hake, pike perch, cod. Red species: pink salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon, sockeye salmon, salmon, salmon, etc. The list in ascending price almost completely coincides with the list in increasing fat content.
Buy either prepared fillets or cut them from whole chilled or thawed fish. To do this, you need to cut off the skin with a wide, sharp knife and then make cuts along the ridge.
When purchasing frozen fish, give preference to those frozen using the blast freezing method. There is practically no icy glaze on it.
If you buy fish in small wholesale and gradually have leftovers of various fish accumulating in your freezer, then use this assorted fish for cooking with rice and vegetables. It will turn out very tasty.
The fish fillet needs to be additionally cut into pieces.
Set the “Pilaf” mode, pour vegetable oil suitable for frying, such as sunflower or refined olive oil, into the multicooker bowl. Chop the peeled onions and carrots into cubes, throw them into the bowl, lightly salt them and fry while stirring at moderate temperatures for the first minutes of the set mode.
Most often, the familiar onion is used. Great for fish dishes and shallots, as well as the white part of leeks.
There is no need to fry these vegetables too much, about five minutes is enough. Then add the pieces of fish and simmer all together while stirring for another five minutes. If desired, accompany the fish with spices. If you want to add some spice, then white or allspice will help you with this; if you want to get a flavorful dish, then opt for an Italian or Provençal mixture of herbs; a mixture of curry for fish and seafood would add some piquancy.
Next, add green beans and canned or frozen corn to the multicooker bowl. Frozen vegetables must first be rinsed, including to remove the ice glaze from them.
In addition to green beans and corn, sweet bell peppers are great for fish and rice; it is especially effective to use multi-colored peppers at the same time: red, yellow and green peppers. The finished dish will look brighter and more appetizing.
Fish with rice with broccoli and green peas as part of an assortment of vegetables turns out well.
Depending on the season, vegetables can be fresh or frozen.
By the way, frozen vegetables are sold in assorted bags, which is also very practical for use and ultimately delicious.
Mix the fish with vegetables and place the prepared washed rice on top.
Pour water about two fingers above the rice layer.
Close the lid of the multicooker and cook for as long as required for the selected type of rice, or focus on the average time of half an hour.
