Capers and Halibut
Description
Seared halibut with lemon-caper sauce takes hardly any time to make but might make your dinner guests think you spent all day in the kitchen!
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
2 (8 ounce) steaks halibut
•
1/2 cup white wine
•
1/4 cup butter
•
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
•
3 tablespoons capers, with liquid
•
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut steaks and sear until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
2
Pour wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine is almost completely gone, then stir in garlic, butter, and capers. Season with salt and pepper, then simmer for about 1 minute to blend the flavors.
3
Return halibut steaks to the pan. Spoon sauce over steaks to coat; cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 more minutes.
4
To serve, cut steaks in half and pour pan sauce over top.
