The absolute perfect combination.

SEASON, SEASON, SEASON

both sides generously with salt & pepper

HEAT, HEAT, HEAT

a cast iron pan over medium heat until really HOT, coat the bottom with oil then add your salmon, cook for 5-6 mins

FLIP, FLIP, FLIP

the salmon over (carefully) and cook for an additional minute or until the salmon is cooked to your liking

MOVE, MOVE, MOVE

the salmon to a foil tented plate or cutting board and set aside while you make the lemon caper butter sauce

MAKE THAT SAUCE!

sauté the white onions in the same pan (adding more oil, if needed) until soft

ADD, ADD, ADD

half the butter and stir until frothy and melted

ADD, ADD, ADD

the minced garlic & capers, using the back of a spatula to break the capers up into smaller pieces

NEXT UP

add the remaining butter, chopped parsley and juice from 1 lemon

STIR, STIR, STIR

POUR, POUR, POUR
