🥘Ingredients

  • 16 ounces salmon fillets Fillets

We got wild caught Sockeye Salmon for a steal! Check this out and and save $30.00 on your order + get free bacon for life when you use this link (for a limited time). FREE BACON!

  • ⅛ cup coconut flour * or carb quick

Carbquick is one of those simple, albeit slightly pricey ingredients that I LOVE. But, it contains gluten so I used coconut flour to develop this recipe and it came out fantastic!

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup dry white wine *optional - sub in more chicken broth if you don't want to use wine.

The alcohol will cook out and you won't get anyone drunk with this sauce...promise.

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice Fresh - always fresh lemon juice.
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained
  • salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Parmesan - grated
  • chopped parsley
  • Lemon slices

👨🏿‍🍳How to make the Salmon Piccata:

  • Season the skinless side of salmon fillets evenly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the coconut flour over the top of the fillets. (It won't be thick).
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to mix with the butter.
  • Sear salmon for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Do the top side first. Transfer salmon to a warm plate; tent with foil and set aside. It won't have a thick crust on it. Just a thin transparent golden crust. (This is normal)
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the pan. Saute garlic for a minute until fragrant. Add wine, broth and lemon juice to the pan; bring to a boil scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced and slightly thickened (about 5-8 minutes)
  • Turn off the heat and stir capers through the sauce. Place the salmon fillets back into the pan, gently spooning the sauce over the tops of the fillets to coat.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan, chopped parsley and extra pepper if desired. Serve immediately over cauliflower rice or paired with veggies of your choice.
