How to Make Bistecca D Ippogloss Alla Genovese

  1. Rinse 2 (6-ounce) halibut steaks and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lightly dust with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a platter, tent with foil, and keep warm.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup dry white wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and stir to combine. Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon capers. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon the sauce generously over the halibut steaks. Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately.
