This is an easy and absolutely scrumptious dish which is mainly a great side dish with fish. Light, fluffy basmati rice infused with fresh lemon juice and zest for a bright, citrusy flavor. A refreshing side that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, seafood, or spicy dishes. Simple, aromatic, and vibrant.
