Print Recipe

Salmon Piccata is a vibrant and tangy dish featuring seared salmon fillets in a lemon-caper butter sauce, perfect for a quick yet elegant dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through; remove from skillet and keep warm.
  4. Add white wine, lemon juice, and chicken broth to the skillet; bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce becomes silky.
  6. Add capers and parsley to the sauce, then return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets.
  7. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of heavy cream to the sauce before serving, and pair with steamed asparagus or garlic mashed potatoes.
