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
Directions
Step 1
Season the halibut fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Dredge the fillets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the chicken or fish stock, capers, and lemon juice to the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Step 7
Return the halibut fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Allow them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the halibut to serving plates, spoon the sauce over each fillet, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
