Creamy salmon piccata
Yield 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1-1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon chicken broth, divided
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Allow salmon to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Heat 12-inch heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- Dab salmon dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place in skillet and sear until bottom is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip then continue to cook until salmon is cooked through, about 2–3 minutes longer.
- Transfer salmon to plate and cover with foil to keep warm, leaving about 1 teaspoon oil in skillet.
- Add garlic and sauté just until golden brown, about 20 seconds.
- Pour in 1-1/4 cups chicken broth and let simmer until broth is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon broth with cornstarch.
- While whisking, pour cornstarch mixture into reduced broth mixture. Cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute.
- Stir in cream, lemon juice, butter and dill. Remove from heat and return salmon to skillet.
- Spoon sauce over salmon. Sprinkle with capers and parsley. Serve immediately.
