Creamy Salmon Piccata
This Salmon Piccata came to me after making my easy salmon piccata last month for dinner. I had some cream in the fridge about to expire and without even thinking added it to the sauce. The next thing I knew, I went from taste testing to just about finishing off all of the sauce before serving. Sorry family. If you’re not a fan of capers, you can leave them out and still create a delicious meal, because all of the flavour is in that incredible lemon garlic sauce!
How Do you Pan Sear Salmon
With pan seared salmon, here are a few tricks I’ve found through the years to get an amazing crispy coating:
Use a good quality non stick pan OR well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Pat salmon dry before cooking. Preheat pan/skillet before cooking. Use butter with oil to prevent the butter from burning. Once you place your salmon in your pan, don’t move it around! Give it time to get nice and crispy before flipping. Sear in batches with 2 fillets at time.
