Lemon-Garlic Salmon with Capers

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the skin is crisp.

3. 3

   Flip the fillets and cook 3–4 minutes more, until just cooked through. Transfer to plates.

4. 4

   Lower the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the pan and cook 30 seconds, then stir in the lemon juice, capers, and butter (if using).

5. 5

   Spoon the sauce over the salmon, scatter with dill, and serve with lemon wedges.
