Lemon caper halibut

Another fantastic fish recipe. This was crazy easy and quick to make and was perfect after a hot race day! I used this recipe, but tweaked it to our liking and what we had on hand!

Enjoy!



Ingredients: (serves 4, I cut in half)

1

tablespoon

plus 1 teaspoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter 

2

cloves garlic, sliced

1/2

cup

fresh lemon  juice

1/2

cup

fresh flat-leaf parsley

2

tablespoons

capers

kosher salt and black pepper

4

6-ounce pieces skinless halibut fillet or some other firm-fleshed white fish

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the lemon juice, parsley, capers, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and simmer until the tomatoes begin to break down, 4 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Season the fish with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side. 

Add lemon sauce over fish and serve immediately.
