Preparation method
Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes1.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Fry the fish steaks on both sides until nicely browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.
2.
Pour the wine into the pan, and scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by more than half, then stir in the garlic, butter and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste (easy on the salt as capers tend to be salty). Let the sauce simmer for a minute to blend the flavours.
3.
Return the steaks to the pan, and coat them with sauce. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve fish immediately with the sauce from the pan poured over it.

Altered ingredient amounts.
It was good, but don't add any salt. The capers make it a bit to salty already.

Fantastic!! This was simple and delicious. I also made the "cheesy acorn squash" recipe from this site to go along with it and a nice white wine. My husband was in heaven! One thing... go easy on the caper juice-very salty.

Prior to making this recipe, I was not a huge fan of fish. Now, I am! Everyone LOVED it! As a side dish, I made all recipe's "Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf". The dishes complimented each other very nicely. Enjoy!

I used cod with this and it was wonderful. I love capers and am always looking for ways to use them. Thanks so much Barbara!
