Directions
Salmon Piccata Style, Roberto’s Restaurant, Friday Harbor, Washington. Faced with only four burners in his restaurant — no oven or grill — chef Roberto Carrieri asked himself what an Italian chef might do with a piece of salmon and a saute pan. The answer took inspiration from the classic veal piccata, marrying salmon with lemon, capers, and butter. With this lively salmon dish, serve a rich, opulent pinot gris or chardonnay, such as the King Estate Reserve Oregon Pinot Gris. From The Best Northwest Places Cookbook Volume 1., Obviously 72 inches thick is way off. lol How thick should it be?, I’m not a fish eater so I figured anything swimming in wine, lemon, & butter had to be pretty good. And it was. Made this for the first time when I had company over and it was a big hit! I doubled the recipe & just cooked the fish in batches. Very easy. Served with mashed potatoes w/chives & crispy prosciutto, & grilled garden green beans and asparagus. Will definitely make again.
