Quick and Easy Salmon Piccata
by: claire cary
This salmon piccata is my go to weeknight dinner and is SO easy to make. It's packed with flavor, perfect with rice or orzo and your favorite green veggie. It's gluten free and ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Salmon
- 4 4 ounce salmon filets skin on
- ¼ cup gluten free all purpose flour can sub for regular
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- ¼ cup white wine
- ⅔ cup chicken broth can sub for veggie broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 3 tablespoons parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Whisk to combine. Dredge each piece of salmon in the flour mixture on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon, skin side up and cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Set aside. It doesn't need to be fully cooked right now as it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- To the same pan, melt the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Add in the white wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in all remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for about a minute. Add the salmon back into the pan and coat with the sauce. The flour from the salmon will help the sauce thicken. Let simmer until the salmon is your desired temperature. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- If using previously frozen salmon, make sure it is fully thawed before proceeding with the recipe. The flour and spices will not stick to the salmon if it is still frozen.
- I used chicken bone broth here, but if you want to keep this pescatarian, you can use veggie broth. I used regular sodium
