Name: Butter-Basted Halibut Steaks with Capers
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients: 2 14–16-oz. bone-in halibut steaks (1”–1¼” thick); Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter; 4 sprigs thyme; 2 cloves garlic peeled, crushed; 3 tablespoons drained capers

Get the pan smoking hot so the halibut won’t stick. Let it get a good sear on the first side, which will also help it release.
