Ingredients:
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 slices lemon
Directions:
  1. Pour flour into a bowl. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  3. Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
