Cooking Steps

Season your salmon well with the seasonings above.
In a non-stick skillet on medium heat, sauté your salmon skin side down in olive oil for about 5-7 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip salmon and continue cooking for another 7 minutes or until it is opaque. When your salmon is ready, carefully remove from heat and set aside.
In the same pan without rinsing it, add 2 tablespoon of butter. Toss in your garlic and capers. Cook for about 1 minute. Toss in your chopped parsley and add a squeeze of lemon.
Pour in your heavy cream and let it simmer on low until it is nice and thick. Mix well and add your salmon back into the sauce. If your salmon needs any more cooking, it will finish in the warm sauce. Garnish with lemon and parsley and enjoy!
