Ingredients:
- 2 - salmon fillets (5 oz. each)
- - kosher salt and pepper
- 4 - lemon slices
- - non-stick spray
- 3 tablespoons - unsalted butter
- 2 cloves - garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons - capers drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoons - lemon zest
- - juice of 1/2 lemon
- - kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. (Remove bones first, if desired). Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Place two lemon slices on top of each fillet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and tent with aluminum foil for 10 more minutes. Fish will continue to cook during this time. It will flake easily when done.
While salmon is cooking, in a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add garlic, capers, lemon zest and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Remove lemon slices from salmon and discard. Gently slide a spatula between the skin and the flesh of the fillet to remove the skin; it should separate easily.
Transfer fillets to a serving platter and spoon lemon caper butter over the top; serve immediately.
