Ingredients

• 4 pieces (each about 4-6 oz) Salmon fillet
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups White wine (dry)
• 0.75 cups Chicken or fish stock
• 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons (rinsed and drained) Capers
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place each salmon fillet between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the salmon until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and pat the fillets dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and ground black pepper. Dredge each piece of salmon in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets in a single layer (in batches, if necessary) and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Carefully pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.

Step 6

Add the chicken or fish stock, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with a side of mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach, or a light salad for a complete meal.
