This light and refreshing Lemon White Rice is a perfect side dish for any meal. The long-grain white rice is cooked until fluffy and then tossed with a bright, zesty lemon butter sauce. The lemon juice and zest add a tangy, citrusy flavor that complements the rich butter, while the fresh parsley provides a pop of color and freshness.

1
Rinse the rice

Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2
Combine rice, water, and salt

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

3
Cook the rice

Bring the rice mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Prepare the lemon

While the rice is cooking, zest and juice the lemon. Set aside.

5
Chop the parsley

Finely chop the fresh parsley leaves.

6
Melt the butter

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter.

7
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.

8
Add parsley

Gently fold in the chopped parsley until evenly distributed.

9
Serve hot

Serve the Lemon White Rice hot as a side dish.
