Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut steaks and sear until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2

Pour wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine is almost completely gone, then stir in garlic, butter, and capers. Season with salt and pepper, then simmer for about 1 minute to blend the flavors.

Step 3

Return halibut steaks to the pan. Spoon sauce over steaks to coat; cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 more minutes.

Step 4

To serve, cut steaks in half and pour pan sauce over top.
