Halibut Steaks With Olive Caper Sauce Recipes

CAPERS AND HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halibut steaks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.
• Pour the wine into the pan, and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce to almost nothing, then stir in the garlic, butter and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for a minute to blend the flavors.
• Return the steaks to the pan, and coat them with sauce. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve fish immediately with the sauce from the pan poured over it.

HALIBUT WITH CAPERS, OLIVES, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and sauté until lightly browned and just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to platter. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add shallots and crushed red pepper; sauté 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes, olives, 1/4 cup basil, and capers. Add clam juice and wine. Boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Mix in 1/4 cup basil. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over fish.

HALIBUT WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, CAPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Mix lemon and mustard blend in oil 'til emulsified (I love my immersion blender!). Stir in tomatoes, olives, capers, salt & pepper.
• Put the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer and pour the tomato mixture over it.
• Cook the fish in middle of oven until just cooked through--depending on the thickness of your fish, it can vary from 10-20 minutes.
• Stir in parsley, and serve fish with the sauce. Freshly ground black pepper is great, but the capers and olives usually have enough salt to carry the dish.
• Excellent on angel hair pasta!

• Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Place the fish in the pan, gently pressing on the flesh. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes on 1 side, turn the fish over, and cook for another 2 minutes, or just until done. Remove from the heat to a serving plate and keep warm.
• In a medium saute pan, heat the butter on medium heat. When hot, add the olives, capers, tomato and garlic and cook until warm. Add the dry white wine and fish stock or clam juice. Cook another 2 minutes. Place olive mixture on top of the fish and garnish with basil.

• Preheat broiler.
• Remove the cover from the sauce and reduce by half. Meanwhile, broil the halibut steaks on both sides until cooked (about 5 minutes on each side).

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
• Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

HALIBUT IN A LEMON MUSTARD AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• preheat the oven to 350°F.
• take out two sheets of tin foil, appx 8x10 and stack them (one will actually cover the fish, the other will act as a safety to prevent spilling juice/sauce in the oven).
• Place the fish steak in the center of the tin foil, and salt and pepper it.
• In a small bowl, place the olive oil, lemon juice, honey mustard and white wine and mix into an emulsion.
• pour the sauce over the fish (be sure to lift the sides of the foil to create a barrier and prevent the sauce from spilling onto the counter).
• place the capers over the fish.
• fold the foil into a pouch.
• place in the oven for 20 minutes and test for doneness (fish should be white and flaky in the center).
• Serve the fish with the sauce.
