Lemon and capers is the perfect combination for salmon. The natural juices from the salmon when baked in the oven will create an even richer flavor. Serves 2.
1 teaspoon of capers, drained
2 large salmon steaks
1/2 teaspoon of lemon rind
4 tablespoons of lemon juice
lemon slices and fresh parsley for garnish
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small onion, thinly sliced
Reduce the oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).
Combine the capers, onion, lemon juice, lemon rind and garlic. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Cover and set aside.
Wash the salmon steaks and pat dry with a paper towel.
Place the salmon steaks in a baking dish which has been lightly greased.
Place the onion slices over the salmon steaks.
Pour lemon caper sauce over the top of the salmon steaks and sprinkle over some parsley.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon steaks begin to flake from the flesh when tested with a fork.
Remove any onion or parsley if uncooked.
Spoon the remaining lemon caper sauce over each salmon steak and add the lemon slices and fresh parsley for garnish.
Transfer to serving plates and serve immediately.
