Lemon Caper Salmon

When you have free reign of what to make without having any limitations to other people’s aversions, what do you make? Well, The Baron was overseas for work the past couple of weeks. That gave me the opportunity to make dishes I knew he didn’t or wouldn’t like… that being, any fish entree or a meal involving sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. Finally, a chance to use up some Copper River Salmon I’ve been storing away in my freezer! I made this Lemon Caper Salmon where salmon fillets were baked and served with a luscious sauce of garlic, vermouth, lemon juice, capers and butter…

When The Baron told me he’s not exactly a fan of fish, I knew that would be a slight challenge because I like fish… a lot! Thankfully, he’s always been willing to try a dish despite his aversions. He didn’t get to try this dish, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t mind. I served this salmon with shredded brussel sprouts with bacon and Parmesan garlic mashed potatoes. The sauce is super easy to put together and it really goes well with the salmon or any fish you happen to have on hand!

      In my opinion, capers and salmon is a match made in heaven. They just go so well together! If it weren’t so late, and for the fact that I don’t have any salmon, I would go make this right now. Your photo is making my mouth water!
