This elegant pan-seared halibut with brown butter and capers is a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy firm, flaky white fish. By cooking the halibut on the bone, you ensure the meat remains succulent and full of natural flavour. The method of basting with foaming butter, fragrant thyme, and crushed garlic creates a rich, restaurant-style finish that perfectly complements the delicate sweetness of the fish, while the addition of salty capers provides a sharp, vibrant contrast.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in high-quality protein and essential minerals. The high-heat seating technique achieves a beautiful golden crust without the need for heavy breading or flour. Serve these steaks alongside some steamed seasonal greens or a crisp garden salad for a light, nutritious dinner that feel indulgent while remaining heart-healthy and balanced.

Ingredients for Butter-Basted Halibut Steaks with Capers
2 14–450g bone-in halibut steaks (1"–1 1/4" thick)
Kosher salt, coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
60ml (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 sprigs thyme
2 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
45ml drained capers
How to make Butter-Basted Halibut Steaks with Capers
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.
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.
Divide halibut among plates and spoon butter sauce over.
