Steps:
- 1. Prepare white rice (for 6 cups/6 servings) according to package directions. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- 2. Place green pepper, onion, tomato, water, 1 tsp lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, salt and pepper in large stockpot or Dutch oven. Stir ingredients well, and bring to boil.
- 3. Reduce heat to low, cover pot and let simmer 30 minutes. Remove bay leaves, and keep sauce warm until ready to serve.
- 4. While sauce is simmering, rinse fillets in cold running water and pat dry. Mix the flour and lemon pepper until well blended, and place it on a shallow plate. Dredge fillets in the seasoned flour to coat on both sides. Shake off excess.
- 5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated fillets and fry in hot oil for about 5 minutes each side, or until lightly browned.
- 6. TO SERVE: Divide rice among 6 individual serving plates. Arrange a fillet on top of the rice, then spoon some of the sauce over each fillet. Serve immediately.
