Capers are super easy to get. You can buy them from any grocery store. However, before you put them in the butter, you have to drain them to get the excess water out. Furthermore, if you rinse them with water, you will get rid of excess brin in them.

As for the fish, halibut has a delicious subtle fish flavor. Moreover, the marinate packs the fish with tones of flavor from the herb, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Make sure you marinate it for at least an hour to get maximum flavor into the fish.

Lastly, you can grill the fish on the stove or in an outdoor grill. Lastly, you can also bake the fish in the oven if you like. Whatever you do, the dish is full of flavors and richness.
