Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wild Rice

    Rinse the wild rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Make the Lemon Caper Dill Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add lemon juice, capers, and fresh dill. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish Cooking the Fish

    Pour the lemon caper dill sauce over the fish in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sautéed Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sautéed vegetables and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the wild rice, topped with the baked fish and lemon caper dill sauce. Serve with sautéed vegetables on the side.
