    Halibut with Lemon-Caper Sauce

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Fish

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets -- cut into 8 pieces
    sea salt
    freshly ground pepper
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (up to
    -- 6 tablespoons)
    2 tablespoons chopped shallots
    1/4 cup small capers -- rinsed and drained
    3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1 teaspoon lemon zest -- finely grated
    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 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Remove from heat and swirl in butter and parsley. Spoon over fish and serve.
