You can reheat the fish in the microwave or on the stovetop, and the rice can be reheated in the microwave or in a skillet on the stovetop with a splash of water.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tilapia with Jasmine Rice <\/strong><strong>Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2076091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tilapia-With-Jasmine-Rice_TOHD24_39834_DianaChistruga_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tilapia fillet served with cooked rice \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can you use a different kind of fish?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>You can absolutely use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-fish-to-buy\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-fish-to-buy\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">different type of fish<\/a> to make this recipe. Substitute branzino, trout, flounder or any other thin fillets of whitefish. You can also substitute larger pieces of cod, halibut or mahi mahi, though you may need to adjust the cooking time to give thicker fillets more time to cook through.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I tell when the fish is cooked through?<\/h3>\n<p>Overcooking tilapia can make it dry and tough. Tilapia fillets are on the thin side, so it\u2019s best to err on the side of undercooking the fillets slightly and then letting them rest for a few minutes to finish cooking. Look for a flaky texture and an opaque appearance. You can also use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature. Tilapia is cooked when it reaches 145\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<h3>What goes well with <strong>tilapia and jasmine rice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Serve the tilapia and rice with a <a
