Fish With Lemon-Caper Sauce image

This southern Italian fish recipe comes together fairly quickly and packs a ton of mouth-pleasing flavor. It's made from ingredients that I usually have on hand so I have a feeling it will be a regular at our house. I adapted this recipe from the Williams-Sonoma cookbook called Essentials of Mediterranean Cooking.

Time 22m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons salt-packed capers
4 firm white fish fillets, 6-8 oz ea (they suggest mahimahi, we use cod)
sea salt & fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 T fresh flat leaf parsley)
grated zest of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Soak the capers in cold water for 20 minutes. Drain, rinse well, and then drain again; pat dry.
  • Meanwhile, lightly season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and oil; let the butter melt completely.
  • Add the fillets to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned and just barely cooked through. With a spatula, remove to a warmed platter and set aside.
  • Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine and lemon juice and then raise the heat to medium-high. Boil for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Stir in the capers, parsley, and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon sauce over the fillets and serve immediately.
