Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets 5-6 oz each
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup Roma tomatoes diced
  • 2 Tbsp capers drained
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp water
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Take the salmon filets, pat dry with a paper towel, and season with 1 tsp. Kosher salt.
  • Lightly dredge the salmon filets in the flour and shake off any excess flour.
  • When the oil is hot, place the salmon in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side. Remove from the pan when done, be careful not to overcook the salmon. The salmon should flake easily and still be slightly medium-rare inside.
  • While the salmon is cooking in a separate small sauté pan, add the white wine and lemon juice.
  • Place the pan on the heat to medium and bring to a simmer and reduce by 1/3.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomatoes and drained capers, set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to make a slurry.
  • Stir ½ a tsp of the cornstarch slurry into the wine sauce, add more as needed. The sauce should be thick enough to just coat the back of a spoon. Take a few minutes stirring until it is as thick as you like it.
  • Finish the sauce by adding the butter, stir until melted. Season with Kosher salt and pepper to taste.
  • Plate the salmon, cover each filet with ¼ of the tomatoes and capers. Spoon the sauce over top.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and an additional sprinkle of Kosher salt. Serve with Linguine Alfredo

Notes

The salmon should maintain a nice deep pink still on the inside like this, don’t overcook.
