Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking and a beautifully crisp exterior for the salmon.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over each fillet and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Sprinkle capers generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Next, finely chop the fresh dill and scatter it on top.
Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the fillets. This not only adds a zesty flavor but also keeps the salmon moist during baking.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven, plate your beautiful salmon fillets, and garnish with additional dill and lemon slices if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Notes
u003cliu003eTo make the fish extra tasty, you can let it soak in a special sauce made of capers, dill, and lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking.u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eIf you like the taste of food from the grill, you can cook the fish that way instead of baking it. It gives the fish a nice smoky taste, and the capers and dill make it taste even better.u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eIf you don't want fish, you can use tofu or Portobello mushrooms instead. It's a good choice if you don't eat meat.u003c/liu003e
