How to Make Baked Lemon Pepper Salmon
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the foil with vegetable oil spray.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, 1 tablespoon capers (drained), and 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped.
- Place the salmon fillet (approximately 6 ounces) on the prepared foil.
- Generously sprinkle both sides of the salmon with lemon pepper seasoning.
- Evenly spread the shallot mixture over the top of the salmon.
- Dot the salmon with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Carefully fold up the foil edges to completely enclose the salmon, creating a sealed packet.
- Bake for 28 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the foil packet (be cautious of steam).
- Transfer the salmon to a serving platter.
- Spoon any pan juices over the salmon.
- Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately.
