- Rinse halibut steaks and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper, then dust with flour.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry halibut steaks in melted butter for 4 to 5 minutes, or until nicely browned and flaky. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Mix in lemon juice, then stir in cream. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Season with parsley, basil, and capers; cook and stir for 1 more minute.
- Serve halibut with sauce spooned over top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
