Ingredients

YIELDS: 4  SERVINGS

4 (8-oz.) salmon fillets
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour, divided
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. white wine
1 c. chicken stock
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
Scant 1/4 c capers
2 tbsp. finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off any excess flour.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Sear salmon until golden on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes a side. Transfer salmon to plate and tent with foil to keep warm while making sauce.
Melt butter in pan and stir in garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes, then stir in flour. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until lightly golden in color and bubbling slightly. Slowly whisk in wine to deglaze, scraping up any brown bits left on the bottom of the pan. Whisk in chicken stock and bring to a simmer and cook until thickened slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, lemon slices, capers, and sun-dried tomatoes and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Return salmon to pan and let simmer in the sauce. Spoon sauce over salmon and let cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Garnish with parsley and serve.
