Easy Salmon Piccata Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 slices lemon

Instructions

1. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Season salmon fillets with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then lightly dredge in the flour, ensuring an even coating.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the salmon fillets and cook until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the cooked salmon to a clean plate and set aside to keep warm.
3. Pour white wine into the skillet and bring to a gentle boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, and capers; stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in cold butter until melted and the sauce has slightly thickened.
4. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the luscious sauce generously over each fillet. Cook until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes per side.
5. Carefully transfer the salmon to individual serving plates. Pour the flavorful pan sauce over the salmon and garnish with fresh lemon slices for a touch of brightness.
