1st Step

In a large skillet, pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat to 375°F over medium-high. Cook for 1 minute, or until half of the rice has popped (like popcorn) and is golden brown. Transfer rice to a dish lined with paper towels with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool completely for about 20 minutes. Continue with the remaining rice. (You’ll need roughly 2 cups of popped rice.) Place the cooled rice in a blender or food processor and pulse for 2 minutes until it becomes a coarse powder.

2nd Step

Season the fish with any seasoning of choice; make sure not to forget salt and pepper before serving. In a small dish, whisk together the eggs and one tablespoon of water. In a medium mixing basin, combine flour and wild rice powder; combine flour and wild rice powder in a separate medium mixing bowl. Dredge 1 fillet at a time in flour, then dunk in beaten eggs and dredge in wild rice powder, softly pushing to adhere. Remove from the equation.

3rd Step

Two tablespoons of oil, heated in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, working with two fillets at a time, until flaky and opaque. Drain on a dish lined with paper towels after removing from the skillet. To taste, season with salt. Serve the fish with a green salad and lemons.
