Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (8 ounce) steaks halibut
½ cup white wine
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
¼ cup butter
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons capers, with liquid

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halibut steaks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.
Pour the wine into the pan, and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce to almost nothing, then stir in the garlic, butter and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for a minute to blend the flavors.
Return the steaks to the pan, and coat them with sauce. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve fish immediately with the sauce from the pan poured over it.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil
3 small garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 6-ounce halibut fillets, skin removed
1 tablespoon light olive oil or vegetable oil
Chopped parsley, for garnish, optional

Steps:

In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the 6 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add fish, seal bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
In a large flat skillet (do not use a ridged pan), pour light olive oil or vegetable oil, tilting pan to spread evenly. Warm over high heat until smoking, then add fish fillets. Brush top and sides with marinade. Cook until seared, about 3 minutes; turn and sear other side, about 3 more minutes. Brush top and sides with marinade again. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until centers of fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more on each side depending on thickness, brushing with marinade as before. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.
