EASY ELEGANT SALMON
Dinner-party worthy salmon that takes about 10 minutes to cook and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. This is the easiest dish I can think of, and despite the many dishes I try in this house, my boyfriend still thinks it is the best. The first time he tasted it, he said, "WOW, you really can cook." I would make it with some roasted potatoes and maybe some steamed broccoli.

Steps:
- Coat salmon with mustard on both sides.
- Finely chop dill and sprinkle on both sides of the fish. The mustard with make it stick.
- Cook in a 450 degree oven or on a stovetop to desired doneness. I like my salmon still pretty pink in the middle, and that takes about 7 minutes. There is no need to turn if you cook it in the oven; on the stove, turn once.
- ENJOY!

Steps:
- Season salmon with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Sprinkle flour onto one side of each fillet and pat gently onto the fish.
- Heat clarified butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, floured side down, and let sear for 2 ½ minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover with foil.
- Add capers to the skillet and press with the back of a fork to gently mash. Pour in wine and lemon juice; add lemon zest. Swirl the pan to combine. Let reduce by half, about 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter; swirl the pan or stir with a spoon or spatula until butter is almost fully melted. Transfer salmon and any accumulated juices from the plate back into the skillet. Allow butter to fully melt while spooning sauce over salmon.
- Pour in water to thin sauce if needed; continue to spoon sauce over salmon and cook until salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the fillets should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Sprinkle parsley over top.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate; spoon pan sauce over salmon.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon should have a bright pink color and smell like the ocean.
- Pat the salmon dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
- Season the salmon liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the salmon should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
