Halibut With Lemon-Caper Sauce
- 1.5-pounds of halibut fillets, cut into 8 pieces
- .5-cups all purpose flour
- Sea Salt
- Freshly Ground Pepper
- 4 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2-tablespoons chopped shallots
- .25-cups of small capers, rinsed and drained
- 3-tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1-teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 4-tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1-tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Season halibut well on both sides with salt and pepper. Place flour in a pie plate. Place 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dip four pieces of fish in flour and place in hot skillet. Cook, turning once, until fish is opaque and the edges are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm platter. Add more oil to skillet, if necessary, and repeat with remaining fish.
- After fish is cooked, add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, shallots, and capers to skillet. Saute 1 minute, until shallots are golden. Add lemon juice and zest, and bring to a boil. Simmer 1 minute; add .25-teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Remove from heat and swirl in butter and parsley. Spoon over fish and serve.
