Ingredients of Crispy-skinned salmon with brown butter and capers
  1. It’s 1 of fillet centre-cut salmon, skin-on and deboned.
  2. Prepare 1/4 cup of unsalted butter.

The brown butter- hand me a straw. Almonds- they are part of my daily diet. And capers- their salty nature draws me in, and I always add more than a recipe calls for (which is why I gave you a range in this recipe- add as many capers as you'd like!) Put the butter and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the salmon and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Crispy-skinned salmon with brown butter and capers step by step

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

  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. 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)..

Meanwhile in a heavy saucepan, simmer shallots, vinegar and wine until shallots are soft and very little liquid remains. Stir in the parsley, capers and lemon zest. Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Place the pan over medium heat, allowing the pan and salmon to heat up together. This thoroughly crisps the skin, and also results in a gentler cooking for the flesh of the salmon.
