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.

PAN-ROASTED HALIBUT WITH PROSCIUTTO, LEMON, WHITE WINE, AND CAPERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put the flour on a deep plate or in a shallow bowl and season well with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour. Put a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and the butter and get the skillet hot. Add the fillets and cook until browned on 1 side, 2 to 3 minutes. At the same time, add the prosciutto and cook, stirring, to brown. Then flip the fish, put the skillet in the oven, and roast until the fish is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the fish to 2 serving plates. Dump the prosciutto out onto paper towels to drain. Put the skillet back over medium heat. Add another tablespoon olive oil, the white wine, lemon juice, capers, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley and bring to a boil; boil until reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the fish, top with the prosciutto, and serve immediately.
HALIBUT IN A WINE AND CAPER SAUCE
We were the luckly recepients of fresh halibut recently. The simplicity of the preparation made the taste of the fish shine through and take centre stage. I would have rated this, or in some cases, better than some 5 star restaurants. Weight Watcher Friendly 3 points

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, three to five minutes, and add the garlic and the capers. Cook, stirring, for three to five minutes, until the onion has softened thoroughly and the mixture is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the thyme, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
- Make the sauce as directed and keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough for the fish to lie flat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and arrange in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, and place a round of lemon on each one. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Check the fish; if you can cut into it with a fork, it is done. If it doesn't yield, (halibut fillets tend to be thick can take time to cook), cover and return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven, and check again. Remove the lemon slices from the fish.
- Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and place a piece of fish partially on top. Spoon some of the liquid from the baking dish over the fish. If you wish, top the fish with another spoonful of sauce, garnish with basil leaves and serve.

Steps:
- preheat the oven to 350°F.
- take out two sheets of tin foil, appx 8x10 and stack them (one will actually cover the fish, the other will act as a safety to prevent spilling juice/sauce in the oven).
- Place the fish steak in the center of the tin foil, and salt and pepper it.
- In a small bowl, place the olive oil, lemon juice, honey mustard and white wine and mix into an emulsion.
- pour the sauce over the fish (be sure to lift the sides of the foil to create a barrier and prevent the sauce from spilling onto the counter).
- place the capers over the fish.
- fold the foil into a pouch.
- place in the oven for 20 minutes and test for doneness (fish should be white and flaky in the center).
- Serve the fish with the sauce.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, select fresh halibut fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly briny aroma.
- Before cooking, pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them sear better in the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the halibut. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
- To prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish and use a little bit of oil or butter.
- Cook the halibut until it is just cooked through. Overcooked halibut will be dry and tough.
- The wine and caper sauce is a great way to add flavor to the halibut. Be sure to use a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor of the wine will come through in the sauce.
- If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute another type of briny ingredient, such as olives or pickles.
- Serve the halibut with a side of your favorite vegetables, such as roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli, or grilled asparagus.
Conclusion:
This halibut in a wine and caper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The halibut is cooked to perfection and the wine and caper sauce is flavorful and elegant. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
