Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Combine cooked rice, thawed vegetables, and Cheddar cheese in a large bowl.
Step 3
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in lemon juice, bouillon granules, paprika, and pepper.
Step 4
Pour 1/2 of the butter sauce over the rice mixture. Stir to combine, then spread in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place tilapia fillets in a single layer on top of rice, and pour remaining sauce over top.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.
