Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup brined capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through. Remove salmon and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add lemon juice, white wine, and capers. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the sauce by half, about 3-4 minutes, then stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and sauce is smooth.
- Return salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over the fillets and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or steamed asparagus and garnish with extra lemon slices.
