Method

Salmon Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Salmon

    Add the salmon fillets to the skillet skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Add Wine and Lemon Juice

    Pour in the dry white wine and fresh lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Capers and Butter

    Stir in the drained capers and butter. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.

  4. 7

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Pasta Preparation

  1. 8

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 9

    Combine Pasta with Sauce

    Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Place a portion of the pasta on each plate and top with a salmon fillet. Spoon additional sauce over the salmon and pasta, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
