Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp + 1 tsp arrowroot starch divided
  • Salt and pepper omit pepper for AIP
  • 4 salmon filets about 1 lb
  • 2 tbsp ghee divided (sub olive oil for AIP)
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • cups chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup capers rinsed and drained
  • 3-4 lemon slices
  • 3 tbsp parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Combine 3 tbsp of arrowroot starch and salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Pat the salmon filets dry, and working with one at a time, toss with the arrowroot starch to coat. Set aside.
  • Using a large, deep pan, melt 1 tbsp ghee over medium heat. Once the ghee is melted and shimmering, add the salmon to the pan skin side down. Sear the salmon for about 4 minutes on each side or until crisp and cooked through. Set aside on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Add the white wine to the pan and scrape with a wooden spoon to remove any burnt bits from the bottom.
  • Add another tablespoon of ghee to the pan. Once melted, add the garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes or until lightly fragrant.
  • Whisk 1 tsp of arrowroot with the broth and pour into the pan along with the lemon juice. Bring to a simmer for 4-5 minutes to allow to thicken. Add the capers, parsley, and lemon slices and stir to combine. Reduce the heat.
  • Add the salmon back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the filets. Serve fresh with a side of gluten-free pasta and vegetables of your choice.
