Salmon Piccata with Lemon and Wine Sauce
Salmon Piccata is easily made with onions, garlic, capers, and kalamata olives in a buttery lemon and wine sauce. This salmon piccata with lemon and wine sauce is big on flavor and perfect for those busy weeknight meals.
Piccata sauce is usually made with some basics such as butter, lemon, and white wine. Then it’s simmered together to create an amazing velvety sauce.
And, sometimes more ingredients are added to give the dish more savory flavors, such as capers, kalamata olives, and even chicken stock. These additional ingredients offer a lot of flavor to the sauce, making this salmon piccata taste mouthwatering and out-of-this-world!
It’s so good, you won’t believe your eating salmon. Even my husband who is not fond of salmon actually enjoyed it!
Your family and friends will enjoy this Salmon Piccata with Lemon and Wine Sauce.
This is a tasty salmon dish to make. The capers along with some chicken stock and clam juice will give enough sodium to the sauce. So you won’t need to add too much salt.
If you don’t have any clam juice? Don’t worry, leaving it out is OK too. Chicken stock will do just fine!
And, I always taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if I need to before I serve.
