Pat halibut fillets dry with paper towels.

Add halibut fillets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

Flip the fillets gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Remove halibut from the skillet and transfer to a plate, tenting with foil to keep warm.

In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits, and let simmer for 2 minutes.

Stir in capers and lemon juice, cooking for another minute.

Reduce heat to low and whisk in remaining butter until melted and sauce is smooth.

Return halibut to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top to coat.
