Description

Creamy Salmon Piccata with Lemon and Capers is a delightful dish featuring tender salmon fillets in a rich and tangy sauce made with lemon, capers, and heavy cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for about a minute.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  4. Dredge each salmon fillet in the all-purpose flour, coating it evenly and shaking off any excess.
  5. Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Transfer the cooked salmon fillets to a plate and set aside.
  7. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  9. Let the broth simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  10. Stir in the heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, and capers.
  11. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  12. Add the unsalted butter to the sauce and stir until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  13. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets.
  14. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the salmon to reheat and absorb some of the sauce.
  15. Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top of the salmon fillets before serving.
  16. Serve the creamy salmon piccata immediately, spooning more sauce over the fillets if desired.
