B.C. Halibut à la Meunière
Prep Time10 Minutes
Servings2
Cook Time10 Minutes
Ingredients
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 (140- to 170-gram) halibut fillets
salt and ground white pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp butter (divided)
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp capers, or to taste (optional)
parsley sprigs and lemon slices, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven 200 F. Spread flour out on a plate. Pat fish dry with paper towel, and then season with salt and pepper. Coat fish in flour.
- Place oil in a non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of the butter and swirl the pan until its melted. Shake excess flour off the fish fillets, and then add them to skillet.
- Cook the fish 4 minutes, and then turn each fillet over and cook 2 to 3 minutes on the other side, or until just cooked through. Carefully remove fish from the skillet and set a piece on each of 2 dinner plates. Keep fish warm by setting the plates in the oven.
- Drain away the oil/butter you cooked the halibut in. Now use a paper towel to wipe the skillet clean. Set the skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and melt and cook 1 minute or so. Remove skillet from the heat, and then mix in lemon juice, chopped parsley and capers, if using. Spoon this mixture over the fish, garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon slices, and serve.
