Halibut Piccata with Buttered Mini Farfalle and Green Beans

April 23, 2014 by susanelester

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

So delicious and lemony!

    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!
