Ingredients
- 2 halibut steaks
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Lemon Caper Sauce
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1/2 lemon zested and juiced
Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry your halibut steaks with paper towels. Whisk together the flour and pepper. Dredge the fish steaks through the flour until coated completely.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan and add in the halibut steaks. You can sprinkle on some more pepper at this point, some salt, season it up a bit. Cook on a medium heat so the butter doesn't burn. The steaks should take about 6 minutes per side on a medium heat and when they are done the halibut will flake nicely.
- While the steaks are cooking, start the sauce. In another small skillet, start the butter melting and add the minced garlic.
- In the small skillet with the butter and garlic, add in the lemon juice, parsley, capers, wine and zest. Simmer it a while until the liquid is reduced.
- To serve, place the fish steak on the plate and drizzle the sauce, making sure to get some of the lovely tidbits that are in the sauce on the fish.
