Salmon Piccata with Lemon Butter
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Combine water and lemon juice in a medium-sized skillet, heating it up to its boiling point. Add chicken bouillon granules and stir well to dissolve the powder. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and carefully place salmon fillets in the skillet, covering them with a lid. Allow the fish to cook over low heat for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until it flakes easily with a fork when pierced. Set the cooked salmon aside to keep warm.

Next, continue to cook the remaining liquid in the skillet until it has reduced significantly, approximately reaching 1/4 cup. Melt butter into the sauce and stir in capers. Spoon this flavorful sauce over the warm salmon fillets, seasoning with pepper to taste and finishing with a sprinkle of parsley.
