If you’re looking for a fast and delicious meal for a weeknight, this is it! Â The flavor combination of lemon, white wine, and capers is hard to beat. Â We’re fortunate that our brother-in-law, Jerrie, is a wonderful fisherman. Â Every summer, he goes to Alaska to fish for Halibut and Salmon and he’s very generous. Â This is some of his wonderful fish.

Your halibut looks wonderful, a perfect weeknight dish!
What a great recipe. I can’t wait to get some decent halibut and give this a try! Also, as you may recall, I love the farfalline! They have to be the cutest pasta shape ever… ~ David
How lucky to have such a talented brother-in-law. The closest we get to fresh fish in the desert is when we go coastal!
