Rinse the rice under cold water, then combine it with water and salt in a medium pot and cook according to package directions until tender and fluffy.

Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the cooked fluffy rice to the pan with the sautéed garlic and toss gently to combine.

Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley until evenly incorporated throughout the rice.

Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve warm alongside your favorite main dish.
