Method

7 steps

Prepare the salmon: rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and paprika, and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the salmon to a plate. In the same pan, pour in the heavy cream, add the oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the grated parmesan and capers (if using) to the sauce. Stir until the cheese has melted.
Return the salmon to the pan, drizzle with the sauce, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the fish through.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
