How to Make Salmon Fillets In Tomato Caper Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. Brush salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs) with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Season salmon generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In a 9-inch metal baking pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 2 finely chopped scallions and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
  7. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 2 tablespoons of capers (drained), and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  8. Arrange salmon fillets on top of the tomato caper mixture.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  10. Spoon the sauce generously over the salmon and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges (optional).
