How to Make Baked Salmon With Caper Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse and pat dry the salmon steaks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Brush the salmon steaks generously with the butter-lemon mixture.
- Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon steaks in a baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with remaining butter-lemon mixture halfway through.
- While the salmon bakes, prepare the caper sauce: In a small bowl, combine the pan juices, chopped parsley, and capers.
- If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of dry vermouth or white wine to thin it out.
- Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter.
- Spoon the caper sauce generously over the salmon steaks.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy with new potatoes (dressed with butter and parsley) and a cucumber salad, if desired.
