This is my go-to salmon dish, mainly because it's super-quick and my wife can't get enough of the sauce.

Ingredients

15 minutes
2 servings
  1. 1fillet centre-cut salmon, skin-on and deboned
  2. 1/4 cupunsalted butter
  3. 1shallot, finely chopped
  4. 2 clovesgarlic, finely chopped
  5. 2 tbspcapers, drained

    Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add a splash of veg oil to a stainless-steel pan on medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Carefully lay the salmon into the pan skin-side down. Saute for 3 minutes (do not touch it). Flip the fillet over and saute for 3 minutes on the other side

  3. 3

    Remove the fish to a plate and add the butter to the pan. Once the butter's melted and has stopped foaming, add the shallots, garlic and capers. The sauce will foam again, so wait until it settles. Add extra salt if needed. Serve the salmon skin-side up and atop the sauce, or with the sauce on the side (you don't want to ruin that crispy skin).
