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

Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season pieces of halibut with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.
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.
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.
