Halibut lemon butter caper sauce with spaghetts basil pomodoro


 
Lemon caper butter sauce: zest of one lemon, evoo, unsalted butter, chopped Italian leaf parsley, one Tbs capers drained, one clove minced garlic. Warm all ingredients through. Add juice of lemon plus 1 Tbs of lemon juice (I used concentrate). Stir to incorporate.

Spoon over cooked halibut.

Cook the halibut as you like. Mine was oven fried for 8 mins and then convection baked for 4 minutes until fish reached 145°. Season halibut as you like.
 
I would gladly take a plate of that.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on a menu before.
it's in rotation on my menu :)

Chilean Sea Bass would also work well for this sauce as the CSB is quite rich and fatty in flavor. The fresh lemon and zest acids really cut into the fat(s). The basil pomodoro was topped with Pecorino so the piccata helped cut those fats too. Overall, this was a filling and clean meal but not heavy.
