PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH CAPERS AND GREEN PEPPERCORNS
I got this recipe from an Oprah Magazine back in 2001, I have changed it just a bit over the years. We make this frequently. It is my favorite way to make salmon. The capers and peppercorns are sharp compared to the delicate flavor of salmon. I am only able to find the green peppercorn in brine at specialty food stores. If I can't find them or I'm just too lazy to go out and search, I have made this recipe without them and it is still really good. I like to serve this with a side of couscous with pinenuts and spoon some of the pan juices on it too. Enjoy!
