Salmon with White Wine and Caper Sauce

This is a really simple salmon dish and it pairs well with the mushroom-onion orzo recipe.

Ingredients
1 thick salmon fillet (about 8 oz), cut into two-pieces
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tbsp butter
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
2 tsp capers
1/2 cup white wine (I used pinot grigio)

Season the salmon with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

In a non-stick pan, I heat the olive oil and butter. The butter adds a nice nutty flavor and it pairs well with the capers and white wine. You can omit it as well.

Pan-sear the salmon (about 3 minutes), I flip it once. Set aside and take out of pan.

In the pan, add the white wine and capers and simmer until slightly reduced.

Place over the salmon and enjoy!

I paired it with a mushroom-onion orzo, but can go well over rice or some pasta.
