Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets (skin removed)
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lemon - juice only
  • 1/2 lemon - slices
  • 3 tbsp capers (drained (can add more if you wish))
  • salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley

Instruction

  • Before cooking, let salmon rest on the cutting board first for about 30 minutes to warm up.
  • Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and season fillets with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Spread flour in a wide, shallow bowl and dip salmon in flour on all sides. Gently tap (not rub) on salmon fillet to remove the excess flour.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet (or another cooking pan) over medium heat before adding salmon. Add butter and once butter is melted, add salmon fillets.
  • Sear salmon for about 4-5 minutes of each side, depending on thickness of the fish. Take salmon out of the pan and set aside. 
  • Add butter to the same pan and let it melt. Once butter is melted, add garlic and saute until fragrant.
  • Pour in wine and let it simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula and stir. 
  • Pour in stock and lemon juice and add salt, pepper, and capers. Bring the mixture to simmer and add lemon slices. 
  • Add salmon back to the pan, sprinkle minced parsley over the top, and let it simmer with the sauce for just a couple of minutes.
  • Serve salmon right away.
