Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
- Extra-virgin olive oil

- Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions
Whip up this crispy prosciutto-topped halibut in just 35 minutes for a restaurant-worthy dinner that bursts with bright lemon, tangy capers, and savory crunchperfect for impressing any night of the week!
- Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Spread the flour on a deep plate or shallow bowl, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Dredge the halibut fillets until fully coated. Heat a large skillet over medium-high, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter until sizzling hot. Sear the fillets on one side until golden, 2-3 minutes. Toss in the prosciutto strips to crisp up alongside, stirring occasionally. Flip the fish, then slide the skillet into the oven to finish roasting until flaky and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Plate the halibut beautifully. Drain the prosciutto on paper towels for that irresistible crunch. Back on medium heat, deglaze the skillet with another tablespoon olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, capers, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and chopped parsley. Let it bubble and reduce into a glossy sauce. Season to taste, then generously spoon over the fish, crown with crispy prosciutto, and dive in immediately for pure bliss.
