1. Rinse the salmon, pat completely dry and let rest while gathering the rest of the ingredients.  When ready, season liberally with salt and pepper.  Heat up a non stick skillet over medium heat.  When the pan is hot, add the oil until shimmering.  Place the salmon flesh side down and allow to sear undisturbed for approx 4 minutes or until the skin starts to get a little golden.
2. Flip the fish carefully with a flimsy fish spatula and cook another minute.  Remove to a plate.
3. Add a little more oil to the pan if needed and add the shallot and garlic.  Cook on low heat until softened – approx. 1-2 minutes.  We don’t want the garlic or shallot to brown, just soften and infuse the garlic.
4. Add the broth, lemon juice & zest, capers.  Simmer until warmed through.  Take the pan off the heat and add the 2 Tbsp. butter.  Swirl the pan until the butter is fully melted.
5. Spoon over the salmon and serve immediately.
