Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.

2. While rice cooks, heat a skillet over high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Combine salt, paprika, and black pepper; sprinkle evenly over fish. Add fish to pan, skin side down; cook for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn fish over; reduce heat to medium-high. Add shallots, red pepper, and garlic; cook 4 minutes or until shallots are translucent, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes, broth, wine, and thyme; bring to a simmer, and cook 6 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon parsley and juice; stir gently to combine. Discard thyme sprig.

3. Combine cooked rice, remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, and almonds. Place about 1/3 cup rice mixture in each of 4 shallow bowls; top each serving with 2 pieces of fish and 1/2 cup tomato mixture.
