"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Cut salmon crosswise into 4 equal fillets. Pat salmon dry with paper towels and sprinkle all over with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add salmon flesh side down. Cover and cook 7 minutes until browned on bottom and registering 125º (for medium-rare), about 5 minutes, or 135º (for medium). Remove skillet from heat and transfer salmon, browned side up, to platter.

Return skillet to medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook for 15 seconds. Whisk in wine, water, capers, lemon zest and juice, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Bring to boil and cook for 30 seconds.

Off heat, whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, until combined. Stir in dill. Spoon sauce over salmon. Serve.
