Salmon Piccata With Maitre D Butter Food

SALMON PICCATA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the salmon fillets well with paper towel and season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add the oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the fillets to the pan, flesh-side down, and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. The fish should look cooked up the sides of the fillets. Carefully flip the fish and cook an additional minute or until a thin metal skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out warm when touched to your bottom lip. Using a slotted spatula, remove the fish to a plate to rest.
• Return the pan to medium heat and add the shallot and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, adding more oil if needed. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, capers and lemon zest. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Whisk in the butter and mustard until smooth and combined. Stir in the parsley and spoon the sauce over the salmon.

SALMON PICCATA WITH HERBED PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add a small handful of salt. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve the pot.
• While the pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until golden on the outside and just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• In the reserved pot, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil over low heat. Return the pasta to the pot, add all but 2 tablespoons of the herbs and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the salmon to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and capers to the skillet. Simmer over high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the liquid is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until emulsified. Stir in the reserved 2 tablespoons herbs and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the salmon to the sauce and turn to coat. Divide the pasta among plates, top with the salmon and sauce and serve right away.

• Add capers to the skillet and press with the back of a fork to gently mash. Pour in wine and lemon juice; add lemon zest. Swirl the pan to combine. Let reduce by half, about 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter; swirl the pan or stir with a spoon or spatula until butter is almost fully melted. Transfer salmon and any accumulated juices from the plate back into the skillet. Allow butter to fully melt while spooning sauce over salmon.
• Pour in water to thin sauce if needed; continue to spoon sauce over salmon and cook until salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the fillets should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Sprinkle parsley over top.

Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove, then drain and season with the oil, salt and pepper, lemon zest and parsley.
• For the salmon: Place 2 salmon fillets in a shallow bowl or plate. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on 50% power in 1-minute increments until the salmon is cooked to your liking, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to plates.
