Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 24 ounces skinless salmon fillets
- sea salt and lemon pepper ((or black pepper), to taste)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine ((optional. Replace with extra broth, but the wine adds amazing flavour!))
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock/broth ((fat free if you can find it))
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch ((or corn flour))
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons rinsed and drained capers
- 2-4 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley (to serve)
- Lemon slices (to serve)
Instruction
- Season both sides of salmon fillets evenly with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup of the flour to a shallow dish; dredge the salmon in the flour to evenly coat. Shake off excess.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to mix through the butter.
- Sear salmon for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer salmon to a warm plate; tent with foil and set aside.
- Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the pan. Saute garlic for a further minute until fragrant. Add wine; bring to a boil scraping any browned bits off of the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid almost evaporates, stirring occasionally.
- Add 3/4 cup stock/broth to the pan along with the lemon juice; bring to a boil and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Whisk cornstarch (or cornflour) together with the reserved 1/4 cup stock/broth. Pour the mixture into the pan, stirring through the liquid to create a sauce. Cook for 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Stir capers through the sauce. Place the salmon fillets back into the pan, gently turning each fillet to evenly coat in the sauce.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra pepper. Serve immediately over rice, pasta or vegetables of choice.
