HALIBUT PICCATA RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and pepper.
• Preheat a nonstick saute pan over medium high until hot and add the olive oil.
• Lightly coat the halibut fillets in the seasoned flour (I use Gluten-free mix, rice will also work) and place in the pan.
• Sear until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
• Flip the fillets to sear the underside, then transfer them to a baking sheet and place in the oven to finish cooking, about 5 minutes more.
• The halibut should be just cooked through.
• Meanwhile, add the wine and lemon juice to the pan, stirring to scrape up any browned bits.
• Add the garlic and capers and cook the liquid over medium-high heat until reduced by two-thirds.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter to create a creamy, piquant sauce.
• Taste and whisk in more butter if desired.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place fillets on two plates and drizzle each with the piccata sauce.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
