How to Make Baked Salmon With Lemon And Capers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Place each seasoned salmon fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil (enough to completely wrap).
  4. Top each salmon fillet with 2 lemon slices, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons white wine (optional), and 1 teaspoon capers.
  5. Carefully fold the foil over the salmon, creating a sealed packet to prevent leakage.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
