Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground salt and pepper
2 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 slices prosciutto, cut into strips
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley plus whole sprigs, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Put the flour on a deep plate or in a shallow bowl and season well with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour. Put a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and the butter and get the skillet hot. Add the fillets and cook until browned on 1 side, 2 to 3 minutes. At the same time, add the prosciutto and cook, stirring, to brown. Then flip the fish, put the skillet in the oven, and roast until the fish is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Remove the fish to 2 serving plates. Dump the prosciutto out onto paper towels to drain. Put the skillet back over medium heat. Add another tablespoon olive oil, the white wine, lemon juice, capers, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley and bring to a boil; boil until reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the fish, top with the prosciutto, and serve immediately.

Very Nice, Quick, and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe should be very successful for you if you're looking for a relatively quick and easy fish recipe that is delicious... with a bit of luxury. The prosciutto and butter really help the luxury along. I only had two minor issues with the recipe: 1. For my palate, it could have used more acidity. Perhaps this is a function of white wine choice, but I would put maybe twice as much lemon juice as directed. 2. The photo on this recipe is HORRIBLE. I think it was a screenshot from a TV show. Not appealing at all. Food Network, I will GIVE you the photo I took of it when I made it last night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/heather_joy/3746520736/ Read more

Whole Family loved this!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made small changes based on what I had in the pantry. I added sauted garlic and artichoke hearts to the sauce and... increased wine a bit. I didn't have any prosciutto, but will definitely try it next time. I also used a little (no salt) lemon pepper. I served it over a bed of quinoa and spinach sauted in garlic and the wine. The whole family from ages 3 to 30+ loved everything about this dish. The fish was a perfect balance of flavor. It's a MUST try!!!Read more

Fast, and Flavorfull
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Absolutely delicious! This makes enough sauce to double the amount of fish for 4 servings. We served the halibut over... couscous to soak up all the goodness! Another winner Tyler!!Read more
