How to Make Baked Salmon With Lemon And Capers
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush both sides of each salmon fillet (about 6 oz each) with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Place each seasoned salmon fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil (enough to completely wrap).
- Top each salmon fillet with 2 lemon slices, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons white wine (optional), and 1 teaspoon capers.
- Carefully fold the foil over the salmon, creating a sealed packet to prevent leakage.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
