This salmon piccata is restaurant worthy and made with a seasoning called 'Capitol Hill seasoning' from the Savory Spice® shop. If you do not have the seasoning blend you can use a mixture of dried shallots, salt, pepper, dill weed, parsley, chives. Seasoning salt should not be used.

Ingredients

  • 2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 cup chicken broth, divided

  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon onion-herb seasoning (such as Savory Spice® Capitol Hill)

  • 2 tablespoons capers (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place salmon on a steamer rack; season with salt and pepper. Place rack inside a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Fill liner with water. Close and lock the lid. Select Steam setting; cook for 15 minutes.

  2. Combine butter and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Saute until garlic is golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth; reserve 2 tablespoons. Mix cornstarch with the reserved broth and stir into the skillet. Add heavy cream, lemon juice, and onion-herb seasoning. Stir sauce to combine.

  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 20 minutes. Place each salmon fillet on a dinner plate. Spoon sauce on top and sprinkle with capers.
