Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, drained
2 tablespoons butter
2 slices lemon

Directions

1 Pour flour into a bowl. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
2 Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
3 Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add garlic; cook until liquid reduces by about half and garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers; stir until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in butter until melted.
4 Return salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over top. Cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes per side.
5 Transfer salmon to serving plates. Pour pan sauce over top and garnish with lemon slices.
