Ingredients

3 cups cooked rice
1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables, thawed
6 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons salted butter
0.25 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound tilapia fillets

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, thawed stir-fry vegetables, and shredded Cheddar cheese.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in lemon juice, bouillon granules, paprika, and a pinch of black pepper to create a flavorful sauce.
Add half of the butter mixture to the rice mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly. Transfer the rice mixture to the prepared baking dish. Arrange tilapia fillets in a single layer on top of the rice. Pour the remaining butter mixture evenly over the fish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tilapia flakes easily with a fork, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
