4 Salmon Fillets, about 6 oz. each
1/8 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground Black Pepper
2 large Lemons
4 tsp Capers, drained
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 Low-sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Cornstarch or Arrow Root (to thicken sauce)
Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the salmon fillets and sprinkle with
salt and pepper. Cook the salmon for about 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a
fork. Make sure to turn the fish at least once, about halfway through cooking. Transfer the salmon to a
serving platter and keep warm. Meanwhile, grate about one-half teaspoon of zest from one of the freshly
washed lemons. (The zest is the colored portion of the lemon rind, with none of the white pithy part.)
Slice one of the lemons in half and squeeze out one brimming tablespoonful of lemon juice. Slice the remaining
lemon into wedges for garnish, and reserve. Reduce the skillet heat setting to medium, and add the capers to
the skillet. Cook the capers for a few minutes to warm through, stirring constantly. Add the minced garlic and
cook a minute longer, until golden. Add the chicken broth, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add cornstarch or arrow
root, stir again. Heat the sauce through, stirring occasionally. To serve, spoon some of the sauce over the warm
salmon and garnish each piece with a lemon wedge. Great with deep green vegetables or red potatoes. Serves 4.
