- 4 skinless salmon fillets
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- lemon slices
- 2 tsp unsalted butter
Prepare
- Mince 3 clove garlic

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Season the salmon fillets with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl, then dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess.
-
Step 2.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
-
Step 3.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring the garlic around the salmon.
-
Step 4.
Add ¼ cup dry white wine, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons rinsed and drained capers, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer until the salmon is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add 2 teaspoons unsalted butter and stir until melted, about 30 seconds. Serve the salmon with lemon slices and spoon the sauce over the top.
