Garlic and Wine Sauce Pasta with Salmon and Caper Berries

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This dinner was created so we could eat caper berries – but they aren’t even necessary!

I was having a salad at a restaurant in Israel when I came across something I’d never seen or tasted before. It tasted mostly like a caper, but it was like a caper on steroids! About the size of a small olive, when split open, it was full of tiny seeds. Since I love capers, as soon as I got home I decided I had to figure this out. Didn’t take much research to discover caper berries. Amazon Prime to the rescue – I had a jar on the way to my house with overnight shipping. 

But what to make with these caper berries was a different question. (They’re too intense to eat straight out of the jar, in case you have a friend asking.)  I decided it had to be pasta, and we’d add some fish to make it a proper meal. And that’s when this dish was born. It takes just twenty minutes from start to table!

Note: I used olive oil to keep the dish dairy-free, but butter takes it up a notch.

Garlic and Wine Sauce Pasta with Salmon and Caper Berries

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets, skin removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 lb fettuccine
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, plus more for salmon
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • ¼ cup caper berries

Instructions

  • Set oven on broil.
  • Rinse salmon and pat dry. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place salmon on lower oven rack and broil for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness of fish.
  • Cook pasta according to package instructions, reserving half a cup of pasta water.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet or in a saucepan. Add garlic and cook until golden. Add white wine and pasta water and simmer until reduced by about a quarter. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. (Because the sauce is very loose at this point, the best way to test the seasoning is to dip a strand of pasta in the sauce and taste that. Adjust to your liking, keeping in mind that the caper berries are salty.)
  • Strain pasta and then combine with sauce.
  • Slice caper berries in half.
  • Plate pasta with some caper berries and a filet of salmon on top. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

      I’ve found them in the past at Zol uBekadol at the top of Rechov Yaffo (near Terem).
