Halibut with Lemon Butter Caper Sauce
I usually make this recipe for a dinner party, it’s a real crowd pleaser. I just double or triple depending on the number of guests. It’s quick and easy and presents beautifully! I like to add more Capers than this original from Kitchen Table Cooking School.

Salt & Pepper
A good olive oil for sauteing

- Remove halibut from pan, add shallot and cook until softened, add more oil if necessary
