Simple Saturday Meals are the best. This one cooks in just one skillet and takes about 15 minutes, yet it is delicious and makes enough to serve the whole family.

Fish does not take long to cook, so this recipe came together in a snap. And since I cooked everything in my non-stick electric skillet, clean up was quick and easy, too. Make sure to have all of your ingredients needed for this recipe ready to go, as it moves quickly once you get started.

One-Skillet Fish and Rice

Makes 4 servings.

  • 15 ounce can chicken stock (I prefer low-sodium chicken stock.)
  • 1 cup uncooked 10-Minute Rice
  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn
  • 1 cup fresh (or frozen) green beans
  • 2 pounds catfish fillets (tilapia or shrimp is also good)

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

How to make One-Skillet Fish and Rice?

Note: I used my Nuwave Electric Skillet for this recipe. This skillet is portable and so easy to clean. This recipe could easily be cooked on the stove-top in a non-stick skillet. But, the more I use my electric skillet, the more I love it.

  • Begin by setting the skillet to 225 degrees (or medium low on the stove-top).
  • The ingredients now get layered into the skillet. Add the chicken stock, uncooked rice, frozen corn, fresh green beans, and then the fish on top. Season with the herbs and spices and then lay the lemon slices on top of the fish.

  • Cover the skillet and simmer for 12-14 minutes. All of the liquid will be absorbed by the rice and the fish and vegetables will be tender. It’s just that easy!
