Piccata sauce is a simple but powerful mix of lemon, capers, white wine, and butter. This tangy, bold sauce is a great match (and foil) for salmon’s rich, full flavor.

this is an awful recipe to easy to over cook the salmon
Looks so delicious!
I made this but I added some onion & cooked for a few mins before adding the garlic. So delicious 😋 & had a little sauce for the mashed potatoes 🥔
Ya sé qué cenaremos hoy.. Gracias.
I would have glazed the other side of the salmon even if only a little bit because it looks so beautiful! And I would have also put the skin off to the side and cooked it crispy. It can be eaten by itself and if you're aware, the skin contains more of the Omega-3's that your body appreciates so much!!😊
I need to incorporate more capers in my food. I can eat those like candy.
Omg yess
What temperature is salmon fully cooked? I get sick when eating salmon that’s pink in the middle..
Looks delicious!
We cannot stop praying for our Church, the Church of Jesus Christ. No one can destroy it.
PBS is spoiling me!! : – )
You easterners are morons when it comes to salmon. PNW for the win. You WAY overcooked that salmon. And wait. Are you using a metal whisk on a nonstick pan?!
Fantastic recipe and method. Thank you. Will be on regular rotation for me.
Love it ! Going to teach this to my young student tomorrow ; thanks for the step by step which I will also send to my student after the class . Chef Gregory . . . Le Cordon Bleu
Made this dish last night. Delicious! 🍽👍
Looks absolutely delicious, quick, and easy!
metal whisk in a non stick pan, rip
Skin is the best part! Don't remove it!
That crust! Beautiful! Thanks for another winner by Christie. I love to watch her cook.
This looks terrific!
I know this isn’t up to her standards, but I’m going to try it with our Costco salmon pieces. They are already scanned, and I like the idea of searing it. Great technique.
Do you make it low carb, I’m going to substitute the flower with zanathan gum
We don’t have Dill around usually, so I’m going to have to use dried. If they want to make a weeknight dinner, they need to think about what most people have around the house.
Cara mengiris yang bagus semoga tuhan memberkati aku suka daging
why are you using a steel wisk in a non stick pan?
Ooh yum – 5 stars will definitely be making this
Made this tonight. Solid.
It annoys me to see salmon recipes that discards the skin (the best part). You can still achieve great results in this recipe with the skin on.
Fyi: salmon skin also contains more nutrition than the flesh — such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B and D, niacin and phosphorus minerals.
Really great way of cooking salmon.
🤣😂😅🤣😂😅 fish monger 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1st we all don't ATK budget 2nd Fish monger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good luck non-ocean living people
I understand why she removed the skin, but for diehard salmon fans like myself, I’d keep that skin and crisp it up for another recipe like I’d crisp up chicken skin for other recipes.
Can you replace white wine with anything else ?
Raw fish ain't my thing. So I would pass on this if they fish isn't cooked all the way through.
I love watching Christie cook!
Can’t believe she removed skin. I’m annoyed already.
Thanks for the recipe. What do we eat this with?
Salmon piccata is marvelous
👍🏻
Sad that the delicious skin was wasted
After while crocodile
When your legs are straighter gator
😂
This looks amazing. I can eat just about any kind of fish if it's cooked to perfection like yours!
Wait do the chefs at the kitchen not sharpen their knives? It was so brutal looking at how she sliced that salmon
Great sauce for salmon
This looks so yummy!
I can't wait to try this one out. It looks so good.
Thirty first 👊🏻💪🏻
