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.

- 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.
