The term "piccata" refers to meat or fish that has been sautéed in or sauced with lemon, butter, and spices. In this recipe, the fish is pan-fried and then drizzled with a lemon-butter sauce. For a crispy crust, dredge each halibut fillet in the breadcrumb mixture just before putting it in the skillet.
