This fried salmon dish with a green salad is perfect for a light dinner. You can make it with any type of salmon: salmon, pink salmon, chum salmon, etc. The key is to quickly sear the fish in a hot pan to prevent it from drying out and to keep it juicy and tender inside. Serve it drizzled with a delicious sauce made with butter, rosé wine, herbs, and capers, which, along with lemon juice, add a touch of tartness to the delicate, creamy flavor. Juicy lettuce leaves with a lemon dressing make a perfect garnish. Enjoy this stunning flavor with a glass of dry white wine.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 120°C.
  2. Place the green salad in a large bowl. Grate the lemon zest over the top and drizzle with the juice of half a lemon (set the other half aside). Drizzle the salad with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss.

  3. Season the salmon fillet with salt and a little black pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

    Add the fish and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Turn over and cook for another 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until done. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and place in a warm oven to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
  4. Return the pan to medium heat and add the shallots and capers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, 2-3 minutes.

    Add the rosé wine and the juice of half a lemon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the butter, a few cubes at a time, until the sauce is creamy. Stir in the parsley and chives.
  5. Serve the fish drizzled with the sauce and garnished with a green salad.
