Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sautéed Halibut with Capers and White Wine Sauce.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, gently place the halibut steaks in the skillet, allowing them to sear for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
Step 3
When they’re perfectly cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and set them aside for a moment.
Step 4
Next, pour in some white wine, letting it bubble away while you use a wooden spoon to scrape up those delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
This is where the flavor magic happens! Allow the wine to reduce until it’s almost evaporated, intensifying the taste.
Step 6
Now, stir in freshly chopped garlic, a pat of butter, and a handful of capers.
Step 7
Season this fragrant mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper, and let it simmer for about a minute to meld those wonderful flavors together.
Step 8
It’s time to bring back the halibut steaks! Nestle them back into the skillet, spooning that luscious sauce over the top to ensure they’re well-coated.
Step 9
Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, signaling that it’s perfectly done.
Step 10
When you’re ready to serve, slice the halibut steaks in half and generously drizzle the pan sauce over them.
Step 11
This dish not only looks stunning but also bursts with flavor, making it a delightful centerpiece for any meal.
Step 12
Enjoy every bite!.
