1/2 cup : All purpose flour

1 T. : Fresh ground sea salt or Kosher salt

1/2 t. : White pepper

1/4 t. : Cayenne pepper

4 T. : Unsalted butter

Place flour, salt, pepper and cayenne on plate and mix. Dredge each halibut fillet in flour mixture.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in heavy bottom skillet over medium heat.
Saute fillets on each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until just firm. Remove fillets and place on a warmed plate or platter.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, onions and garlic to skillet and saute for 2 minutes.
***Don't let the garlic burn!***

Increase heat to medium-high and add wine. Scape the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits.

Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in cooked bay shrimp and chives and return fish to skillet to warm.

Place one fillet on each plate, spoon sauce over it and garnish with cilantro sprig and enjoy

Great sounding dish, only problem with it is you're going to have to catch 4 of those puny California halibut to have enough filets! :D :D

Got to get you Cali guys up to Alaska for some flatties. Here's a small one, my kids first ever, 110lbs. Oh, the dog, Jack Russel with an anger management problem . . . :roll:



I AM going to try that recipe BTW - thanks for posting
