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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Really tasty. The instant pot directions are a bit off, I think. With the steam function, quick release vs. natural release should be used, per mfg recommendations. As another reviewer mentioned, if you steamed for 15 minutes and then used natural release, it would overcook the fish. I cooked the full 15 min but did quick-release and it was perfect. I didn't have the recommended seasoning or all the substitute suggestions, but I used Dill weed, italian seasoning, S+P, and thyme, and it was great. I also didn't have heavy cream, so I used half and half and some corn starch (Doing the best I can during the pandemic!) Read More

The sauce was unbelievable! The cooking method was optional. I may try it on baked salmon. Read More

Really good! Will definitely make again. The sauce will be good no matter how you cook the salmon. The time given for the salmon steaming was a little too long in my instant pot, so consider making it shorter. Read More
