Halibut Cheeks with Piccata Sauce

If you've never tried halibut cheeks, prepare to meet the ocean's best-kept secret. These tender little nuggets come from the fish's facial muscles (yes, fish have cheeks!) and they're basically the filet mignon of seafood—scallop-sweet, buttery, and ridiculously luxurious.

Dress them up with a bright, lemony piccata sauce full of capers and garlic, and you've got fancy-restaurant vibes in under 15 minutes. Your kitchen will smell like the Italian coast. Your guests will think you hired a chef. The secret? Halibut cheeks are just that good.

Thank you Weekday Pescatarian for this dish!
