Dave'S Baked Salmon With Garlic-Butter Sauce

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute. Cut two 12-inch square sheets of aluminum foil and spoon a small amount of butter onto each. Place 1 salmon fillet on each square and lightly season with salt and pepper. Fold aluminum foil around each fillet to create little packets that will hold the butter sauce.

3. 3

   Add garlic to the remaining butter in the bowl. Spoon over the fillets, coating thoroughly; place 3 sprigs of dill on each. Place 2 lemon slices over the dill. Spread capers and brine evenly over fillets. Seal the packets and place on a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes; do not overcook. Remove packets from oven and open them.

5. 5

   Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Bake salmon packets under the broiler until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Use a large spatula to serve each fillet in a scampi boat. Pour butter sauce and capers over each fillet.
