Salmon Piccata

Who loves gourmet cooking that doesn’t take hours to create?  I certainly do!  And my guess is that you do too.  There isn’t anything I enjoy more than being able to cook and serve a 5 star restaurant worthy meal that my family and friends can enjoy – without having to spend every last penny in order to do so.  That’s one of the reasons why I adore salmon piccata – it’s simple, delicious and so easy to make – and just about everyone who tastes it thinks I picked it up from our favorite local Italian joint on my way home from work.

What is Piccata?

Salmon piccata is practically identical to the ingredients you’ll find in chicken piccata, except, of course, the obvious: rich, buttery and flaky salmon fillets.  Once you taste and prepare it, you’ll never be able to live without it.  Piccata is an old world Italian classic typically made using veal.  These days, chicken has taken over as it’s more famous and popular sibling, with salmon a very close second.

The main origin of the Piccata still remains unclear as many people still argue about its real origin. Some say it originated from the United States, while some believe its real origin is Italy. Nevertheless, the Salmon Piccata is a great recipe irrespective of its origin.

The Salmon Piccata might  be the best of the piccata series, the flavors used in preparing this dish are very enticing.

HOW TO MAKE SALMON PICCATA?

It is easy to prepare this dish, first add salt and pepper according to your taste to the salmon fish, be it lemon pepper or black pepper, whichever suits you.

Then coat the Salmon in flour and fry it.

After you fried the salmon using butter and olive oil, you transfer the Salmon to a plate and cover it with foil. Add more butter to the frying pan and let it melt. Then you add some garlic and leave to fry for approximately one minute. Add stock and cook it until it evaporates a little bit, but make sure you stir it from time to time.

Add some corn flour into the frying pan and also leave it to cook until you feel the whole mixture has thickened. You can now place the Salmon into the frying pan gently mixing it with the sauce. If you prefer, you can add extra pepper or leave as it is.
