Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Chicken or fish stock
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the halibut fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the fillets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Add the chicken or fish stock, capers, and lemon juice to the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Return the halibut fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Allow them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the halibut to serving plates, spoon the sauce over each fillet, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
