Halibut with Caper Sauce
Posted by Olivia on Thu, November 12, 2009
Ingredients
2 tablespoons capers, drained and roughly chopped
1/4 cup chopped cornichon pickles
2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and diced fairly finely
1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/4 cup The Olive Press California Mission Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup flour
4 halibut fillets (6 to 7 ounces each)
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Lemon wedges
Directions
- Combine the capers, cornichons, eggs, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl. Whisk well so that the egg yolks begin to break down and make the sauce creamier. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Season the fish with salt and pepper, then dredge completely in the flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet, then add 2 halibut fillets flesh-side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, turn the fish over and cook another 5 minutes for medium doneness. Transfer to a warmed plate.
- Repeat with the other 2 fillets, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
- Spoon the sauce over the fish and garnish with lemon wedges.
