11 - 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
02 - Pat tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of each fillet generously with the herb mixture and arrange on prepared baking sheet.
03 - Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
04 - While fish bakes, bring 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover with lid, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes until rice is tender and water is completely absorbed. Fluff rice gently with a fork.
05 - Place broccoli florets and carrot slices in a steamer basket over simmering water and steam for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl and optionally toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
06 - Divide cooked rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each portion with one tilapia fillet and a generous serving of steamed vegetables.
