Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1
Pour flour into a bowl. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.

Step 2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 3
Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add garlic; cook until liquid reduces by about half and garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers; stir until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in butter until melted.

Step 4
Return salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over top. Cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 5
Transfer salmon to serving plates. Pour pan sauce over top and garnish with lemon slices.

Tips

If you're not a fan of fish, you can substitute thinly sliced or pounded chicken breasts for the salmon.
