Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 1 cup rice in 2 cups water with a pinch of salt until tender, about 15 minutes; fluff with a fork.

  2. Step 2

    Beat the 1 egg in a shallow dish. Place the 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip each of the 4 fish fillets in egg, then press into breadcrumbs to coat both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the breaded fish until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    Toss the 2 cups lettuce and 1 chopped tomato with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the fish over the rice with the salad on the side.
