Butter-Basted Halibut Steaks With Capers

1. 1

   Season halibut with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat until beginning to smoke. Cook halibut until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Turn and cook until other side of fish is golden brown, about 4 minutes longer.

2. 2

   Add butter, thyme sprigs, and garlic to pan and cook, tilting pan and spooning butter over fish, until halibut is opaque throughout and butter is brown, about 2 minutes. Add capers; toss in butter to warm through.

3. 3

   Divide halibut among plates and spoon butter sauce over.
