Creamy Lemon Caper Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 salmon (fillets)
• 1 tbsp butter (a knob)
• 2 onions (thinly sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 tsp capers
• 2 handfuls fresh spinach (large handfuls)
• 400 ml light cream (4% fat)
• 1 lemon (zest and juice)
• chili flakes (to taste)
• salt (go easy)
• pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, melt a knob of butter and sear the salmon fillets until golden and tender. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the capers and chili flakes, then stir in the fresh spinach. Let the spinach wilt slightly.

5. 5

   Pour in the light cream, lemon zest, and juice. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Place the salmon fillets back into the skillet to coat them with the sauce and warm them through briefly before serving.

Notes

A little tip: go easy on the salt, as the capers already add plenty of flavor to the sauce. This recipe also works very well with white fish.
