Method

Check the fish for bones, pat it dry, and prepare the vegetables and sides before cooking.

Lay the fish on top, cover, and cook gently until the rice is tender and the fish flakes.

I would use Sayadieh Light Fish and Rice (Lebanon) when I wanted something lighter without it feeling like a compromise. The method reads clearly.

Sayadieh Light Fish and Rice (Lebanon) had the sort of clean fish flavour I want from a healthier recipe. It felt connected to Lebanon but still practical at home.
