• 2 place the fillets on top of the dressing in the pan.
• 3 sprinkle with all 4 seasonings (all the measurements i gave are approximate). i usually just sprinkle a generous amount on each filet. don't leave out the cumin it is a wonderful addition to the fish.
• 4 saute the fillets on med-low heat approximate 4-5 minutes each side until fish flakes easy with a fork.
• 5 while the fish is slowly cooking, cook the rice, using 2 1/2 cups water and 1 cup rice, with butter, bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes on low.
• 6 serve the fillet on top of the jasmine rice. i will usually add more s&p and cumin according to my taste.
