• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup chopped shallots
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towel. Sprinkle fillets with lemon zest, white pepper, and salt. Set on a plate.
2. Pour oil into a large skillet and set over medium heat. Cook shallots in hot oil for about 5 minutes to soften, then stir in garlic and capers. Cook for 1 more minute, then add wine. Set salmon in the skillet.
