Lemon-Dill Rice

Lemon-Dill Rice

I made a nice halibut dinner tonight and I paired it with this lemon-dill rice. It was a nice side dish to pair with the halibut and tomatoes and the lemony dill flavors really shine. My son said he prefers plain rice (so he can add soy sauce to it) but the rest of us thought it tasted great and paired nicely with the fish.

How to Make Lemon-Dill Rice

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring often so the rice doesn’t stick to the pan, for 3-4 minutes. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth then season with sea salt, to taste. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let cook for 20 minutes.

Remove the rice from the burner without removing the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork. Sprinkle with chopped dill and serve. Enjoy.

      Can you tell I had an extremely long day yesterday? I have corrected the recipe to reflect it’s actual directions! Thanks for the heads up.

    2. We ALL get those days BTW, how much dried dill do you think this would need? I know that I can put my extra fresh dill in the freezer for later use but I’m currently trying to use up stuff in the freezer.

    3. Katie,

      I would start out with a teaspoon of dried dill. I would saute it with the onions and garlic then cook the rice with it. I added fresh at the end to preserve color and flavor.

      Cheers,

  2. I will try this recipe. I had a lemon dill rice recipe that was a crowd favorite but it’s no longer posted so I’ve lost access to the recipe. The only additional ingredient that it had was slivered almonds. Your recipe sounds amazing as well
