Rinse the rice

Combine rice, water, and salt
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir to combine.
Cook the rice

Melt the butter
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter.
Add lemon and butter to rice
Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
