Halibut with Brown Butter Caper Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 halibut fillets
• 3 tbsp rice flour
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp dairy-free butter
• 3 tbsp capers
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• fresh parsley, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. 1

   Season halibut with salt and pepper, dust lightly with rice flour.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook halibut 3-4 minutes per side until golden and opaque, then remove.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, melt the dairy-free butter over medium heat, swirling constantly, until it turns light amber and smells nutty — watching it closely through this color change is what separates real brown butter from just melted butter; a few seconds too long and it burns bitter.

4. 4

   Immediately stir in capers and lemon juice to stop the butter from browning further.

5. 5

   Spoon the brown butter caper sauce over the halibut and garnish with parsley.
