Halibut Piccata Recipe

Halibut Piccata Recipe

  • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Olive Oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons drained Safeway SELECT Capers
  • 1 1/2 pounds Pacific halibut fillets, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup Safeway SELECT Verdi Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  1. In a 7- to 8-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, combine garlic with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil. Stir often until limp but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add wine, lemon juice, and capers. Boil, uncovered, until reduced to 1/2 cup, 3 to 4 minutes; keep sauce warm.
  2. Preheat oven broiler. Rinse halibut, pat dry, and cut into 4 to 6 equal portions. Rub fish with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange in a single layer in a 12- by 17-inch broiler pan (without rack).
  3. Broil halibut 3 to 4 inches from heat for 3 minutes. Using a spatula, gently turn fish over, sprinkle with cheese, and broil until opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 3 more minutes.
  4. Transfer fish to a platter or individual plates and top with sauce.
