Creamy Salmon Piccata

Kankana Saxena
Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth (please read notes below)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons capers
  • ½ cup cream
  • few thinly sliced lemon slices

Instructions
 

  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and pour the oil. When the oil heats up, layer the salmon fillets and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Once done, take it off the pan into a plate and keep it aside to be used later.
  • To the same pan, drop the butter and garlic. Once the butter melts, sprinkle the flour and cook for a minute. Pour the stock, followed by lemon juice and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Drop the capers and simmer for 2 minutes. The sauce should start thickening.
  • Finally, pour the cream and give it a stir. Layer the salmon fillets and lemon slices. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Taste for salt and add any, if needed.
  • Take it off the heat and serve warm.

Notes

I used chicken stock with sodium and hence, I didn’t add any more salt while cooking. If you are using sodium free stock or wine or water, adjust the salt accordingly.
