Prepare the rice. Using a fine mesh strainer rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Add to a medium sized saucepan along with 1 1/2 cups water or broth, kosher salt, and garlic powder.
Prep the olive oil and lime mixture. While the rice cooks, prep the remaining ingredients. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, green onion, and jalapeño if using.
Mix it all together. Remove the lid from the rice and fluff with a fork. Transfer rice to a bowl and gently toss with the olive oil and lime mixture until well combined.
