Halibut with Caper Sauce

Ingredients

• Halibut fillets (4 (6-ounce) fillets)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Butter (3 tablespoons)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Chicken broth (1/2 cup)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Capers (2 tablespoons, rinsed and drained)
• Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped)

Instructions

1. Begin by seasoning the halibut fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Carefully add the seasoned halibut fillets to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add the capers and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
8. Plate the halibut fillets and generously spoon the caper sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
