Baja Fish & Rice Bake

A few of my friends have started posting recipes on their blogs & since I cook on a daily (yes, truly I cook just about every day!) basis, I thought I'd share a recipe I made last night. In fact, I just finished off the leftovers for lunch!

3T vegetable oil
1/2 C chopped onion
1/2 C chopped celery
1-1 1/2 cloves minced garlic
1 14oz can diced tomatoes (with juice)
1/8 t red pepper
1 t lemon pepper
salt & pepper to taste
1 box long grain & wild rice (I use the quick cook 90 second one.)
1 lb fish fillets (I use tilapia, but any mild fish will do.)

Heat oil in a large skillet, saute onion, celery & garlic. Stir in rice & saute about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, lemon pepper, salt & pepper, red pepper. Remove from heat. Place fish in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spoon rice mixture over fish and cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes (or until fish is done) at 400. Enjoy with fresh green beans or a mixed greens salad!
