Ingredients

4 (3 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, drained
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 lemon, sliced

Directions

1

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Pour flour in a bowl and dredge salmon, shaking off the excess.
2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook salmon fillets until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
3

Pour wine into the skillet and scrape browned bits from the bottom. Add garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant and slightly brown and liquid is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a boil while stirring. Stir in butter until melted. Return salmon fillets to skillet and spoon sauce over them.
4

Cook, turning fillets once, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes. Serve salmon with sauce poured over it and garnish with lemon slices.
