Salmon Piccata Recipe
Report
Salmon Piccata is a deceptively easy yet super tasty dish. To make, simply dip salmon in seasoned flour, pan fry the fish, then make a creamy lemon-garlic-butter sauce to top it off, but don't forget the capers.

Ingredients
- 1 ¼-1 ½ lbs. salmon Verlasso
- ¼ cup flour gluten-free 1-to-1 blend, if needed
- ¼-½ tsp. salt to taste
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 4 Tbsp. butter salted
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- ¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cup chicken broth reduced sodium
- ¼ cup capers drained
- lemon optional, zest
Instructions
- Leaving the skin intact, cut the salmon into four 5-6 ounce filets.
- Add the flour, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper to a large, shallow bowl. Whisk together until combined. Dip each salmon filet into the flour and coat all sides. Shake off any excess. Reserve the remaining flour.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the salmon filets, flesh-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip them over and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and place on a separate plate.
- Add 2 additional tablespoons of butter to the skillet along with the garlic. Saute for 30 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour and then quickly pour in the lemon juice. Pour in the broth, ¼ cup at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Add the salmon back into the skillet along with the capers and heat it back up for 2-3 minutes. Just before serving, top with lemon zest, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- To Prep Ahead: The salmon can be cut down up to 24 hours before serving.
- To Store: Leftover salmon picatta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
- To Freeze: This dish can be frozen in an airtight container or sealed freezer bag for up to 3-4 months.
- To Reheat: The best way to reheat this salmon is to pop it back into a 300 °F oven for 5-7 minutes. It can also be heated up in a skillet over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes.
