Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1 ¼ pounds skin-on wild Alaskan salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper
-
3 tablespoons minced shallot
-
¼ cup dry white wine
-
¼ cup cold water
-
½ teaspoon cornstarch
-
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
-
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat salmon dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the pan, skin-side down; reduce heat to medium and cook, pressing gently with a fish spatula so that the skin can make full contact with the pan. Cook until the skin is crispy and the sides begin to turn opaque, 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon, reduce heat to low and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Do not wipe out the pan.
-
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and shallot to the pan; cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is lightly golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in wine and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the pan; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until just thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add capers, smashing them gently with the back of a spoon. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice as desired for flavor and consistency. Add butter and swirl the pan vigorously until the butter is fully melted. Serve the salmon with the sauce and sprinkle with parsley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
