Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 pounds halibut, cut into 4 pieces
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons drained capers

Directions

  1. Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season pieces of halibut with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.
  3. Fry the halibut until golden brown on both sides and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 6 to 7 minutes total. Remove pan from heat; transfer fish to 4 dinner plates and keep warm.
  4. Return pan to heat; pour the wine into the hot empty skillet and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half, then stir in the garlic, remaining butter and capers. Let sauce simmer for a minute to blend the flavors. Pour sauce over fish and serve.
