Ingredients
- 4Â tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 20 ounces raw halibut steaks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose white flour
- 1/2Â cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4Â cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1/4Â teaspoon white pepper
- 4-1/2 cups cooked white rice
Preparation
- Combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice and olive oil in a large zip-lock bag. Add halibut steaks and marinate 5 minutes.
- Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium. Place halibut in skillet and cook 3 minutes. Turn, cook 2 minutes longer, then remove fish from skillet.
- To make sauce, melt butter in the skillet over low heat, add flour and stir. Pour broth into flour mixture and continue stirring for 1 minute. Add wine, remaining lemon juice, capers and pepper. Continue to stir and cook until sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Place halibut in pan to reheat. Divide fish into 6 portions and serve over 3/4-cup cooked rice. Top with 2 tablespoons lemon caper sauce.
Helpful hints
- Substitutes for halibut include orange roughy, cod and flounder.
- Use low heat and stir constantly to make a smooth sauce.
- Check labels on reduced sodium chicken broth. Best choices are below 500 milligrams sodium per 1 cup serving. Acceptable brands include Health Valley®, Kitchen Basics® and Swanson®.
