Lemon Caper Butter Sauce
The sauce is the main culprit responsible for the high cholesterol and high calorie content of this dish. This is mainly due to the heavy portions of salted butter in the recipe -- approximately 2 tbsp. The sauce is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and iron, and has minute traces of alcohol due to the 1/2 cup of white wine mixed in.
