“Chive caper” sounds like a baked potato is solving a murder, and there may well be that TV show streaming somewhere (or a 12-part podcast series), but that's not what's going on here. Instead, the creamy sauce is flavored with onion-y chives and salty good capers. And it goes beautifully with the salmon. There's no mystery or foul play surrounding this “chive caper;” just a good, delicious dinner.

Cooking Guidelines
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
- Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
- Seafood 145° F |
- Chicken 165° F |
- Ground Beef 160° F |
- Ground Turkey 165° F |

Customize It Instructions
-
If using customized protein, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
If using ahi tuna, cook in a medium non-stick pan with 1 tsp. olive oil until tuna reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-5 minutes per side. Tuna is often enjoyed medium-rare (pink in the middle). For medium-rare, cook 1-2 minutes per side. Consuming raw or undercooked tuna may increase your risk for food-borne illness. (No need to roast tuna.)
-
If using ribeye, cook in a medium non-stick pan with 1 tsp. olive oil over medium heat until browned on one side, 3-4 minutes. Roast, seared side up, in hot oven until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 10-12 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Halve to serve.

If using chicken breasts, follow same instructions as salmon in Step 3, roasting until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 17-20 minutes.
