Sometimes the clothes do make the man or the fish. In this case, a brown butter piccata topping a tender salmon that's dressed to impress your taste buds. It's the haute couture of delicious crusts: cloaked in brown butter, bejeweled in salty capers, with crispy garlic to accessorize. A spritz of lemon and some parsley to complete the look, and you've got an outfit for the ages. Outfit, we mean dinner. Dinner, that's what we meant.
