Description

Enjoy this 25-minute restaurant-worthy pan-seared salmon piccata in a white wine lemon butter caper sauce with fresh garlic and parsley.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (58 oz. each)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Lightly coat both sides of the salmon with flour. Shake off any excess flour.
  3. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the olive oil to a skillet.
