Skate with Capers

• 4 skate wings, about 1/2 pound each
• Salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon drained tiny capers, or more to taste
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges

1. Rinse the skate, pat dry, and cut each wing in half.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
3. Heat the oil and butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams.
4. When the foam subsides, add the fish membrane side up and saute 3 minutes, or until the bottom is an appetizing golden brown.
5. Turn the fish and saute 1 minute longer, or until cooked through.
6. Transfer the fish to serving plates and keep warm.
7. Add the capers to the pan and stir them around for a minute.
8. Pour the caper butter over the fish, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
