Avyan is in a phase where his taste buds are quite unpredictable. One minute he loves chicken and the next minute he declares he doesn’t like it any more. You might know you get these free food samples to try in Costco. So, one day this lady was offering tiny samples of poached salmon. Avyan, who was still not a big fan of seafood, enjoyed that sample like it’s a candy. So, I grabbed a packet and the immediate next day prepared salmon piccata, except it was not creamy. My kid was not a happy diner that day. He did eat a little bit of the salmon and so, my hope was still there.
Yesterday, I made the exact same dish with the addition of cream, which helps to mellow down the tanginess. This time Avyan gave me a thumps up. As a Mommy and a food blogger, when my kid smiles and enjoys the food I made, I know it’s worthy to be shared.
Piccata Sauce
If you are unaware of this sauce, it’s a simple piquant buttery flavored sauce often served with chicken, fish or veal. It’s probably one of the simplest sauces to prepare as ittakes less than 10 minutes. You could avoid the cream and just add the broth. You could flavor it up with additional dry herbs or spices or you could add wine for added flavor and richness. There is a room for creativity when it comes to this light and delicious sauce. This could be your go-to sauce.
