Pan-Roasted Halibut Steaks with Fried Capers

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus additional oil for frying
2 tablespoons capers packed in salt (rinsed, soaked for 10 minutes and patted dry)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon garlic minced
4 halibut steaks (8 ounces each)
1/2 cup white wine
1 lemon cut into wedges
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Pour 1/2 inch of olive oil into a small saucepan over medium high-high heat. When oil shimmers, add the dry capers and fry until the capers just begin to brown (approximately 45 seconds). Remove the capers with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter to a non-stick skillet with a heat resistant handle that can be placed in the oven. Place the skillet over a medium heat and add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds.

Season the halibut steaks with salt and pepper and place in the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes on each side. Place the skillet in the oven and roast the fish for 5 to 8 minutes or until the fish just begins to flake with a fork.

Remove the skillet from the oven and place each piece of halibut on a plate. Return the pan to the stovetop over medium-high heat and add the wine. Reduce the liquid to half or until thickened and drizzle over the fish.

Sprinkle the capers over each piece of fish, garnish with lemon wedges and serve with your favorite vegetables
