Salmon

Caper Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon fillets and coat them well with the marinade. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Making the Caper Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is bubbly and starts to brown slightly.

  2. 5

    Add Capers and Garlic

    Stir in the capers and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Place the grilled salmon on a serving plate and drizzle generously with the caper lemon butter sauce. Serve immediately.
