Ingredients

  • 60 –70 g unsalted butter
  • 350 –400 g white fish fillet such as cod, halibut, or sole
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 fresh lemon
  • A few sprigs of fresh parsley or spinach finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste
  • White ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Lightly grease a baking dish with vegetable oil, then place the white fish fillets inside. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and a touch of ground white pepper to enhance the flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep in mind that exact timing may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet and your oven's performance.
  • Meanwhile, squeeze the juice from the lemon and finely chop the parsley or spinach leaves.
  • In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the lemon juice and stir gently to blend.
  • Toss in the capers and chopped herbs, stirring the mixture for about 30 seconds until the aroma develops and the ingredients are well combined.
  • Once the fish is done, transfer it to a plate and spoon the warm butter-caper sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
