Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ¼ cup dry white wine
• ½ lemon, sliced
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained
• 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
• 4 (3 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Pour flour in a bowl and dredge salmon, shaking off the excess.

Step 2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook salmon fillets until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 3

Pour wine into the skillet and scrape browned bits from the bottom. Add garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant and slightly brown and liquid is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a boil while stirring. Stir in butter until melted. Return salmon fillets to skillet and spoon sauce over them.

Step 4

Cook, turning fillets once, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes. Serve salmon with sauce poured over it and garnish with lemon slices.
