Salmon With Capers Recipes

BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven 400 degrees F.
• Brush top and bottom of salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Place each piece of seasoned salmon on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal.
• Top the each piece of salmon with 2 lemon slices, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of wine, and 1 teaspoon of capers. Wrap up salmon tightly in the foil.
• Back them 15-20 minutes.

SALMON WITH CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.*
• While the oven preheats, in a shallow dish mix together 4 cups room temperature water and 3 tablespoons kosher salt. Place the salmon in the water and wait for 15 minutes.
• Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Pat each piece of salmon dry and place it on the foil. Sprinkle the salmon with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt for each fillet and fresh ground pepper. Place the lemon slices and fresh herbs around the salmon (not on top). Close and seal the foil around the salmon.
• Bake the salmon for 10 minutes in the foil. Then open the foil packet so steam can release and bake again for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness, until just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130F in the center). A 1 inch thick fillet should cook in about 15 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the capers and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• When the salmon is done, squeeze with some lemon juice from remaining lemon slices. Spoon the butter sauce over each piece of salmon. Garnish with finely chopped parsley or chives.

• Mix the pan juices with the chopped parsley and capers, and pour over the steaks.
• If additional liquid is needed, add a little dry vermouth or white wine.

• Makes 4 servings.

SALMON WITH LEMON, CAPERS, AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Brush top and bottom of salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Place each piece of seasoned salmon on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Top the each piece of salmon with 2 lemon slices, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of wine, and 1 teaspoon of capers. Wrap up salmon tightly in the foil packets.
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Place the foil packets on the hot grill and cook for 10 minutes for a 1-inch thick piece of salmon. Serve in the foil packets.

SALMON WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS IN FOIL

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, parsley, capers, oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Place each salmon fillet on a sheet of aluminum foil and top with a few tablespoons of the tomato mixture. Fold the foil sheets into packets. (If making this recipe in advance, store the packets on a baking sheet in the refrigerator until time to grill.)
• Place the packets on the grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes for medium.

PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

STEAMED SALMON WITH OLIVES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Season salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon juice; place in a steamer basket. Insert the steamer basket into the saucepan, cover, and steam until salmon is easily flaked with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes.
• While salmon cooks, whisk olives, olive oil, capers, and remaining lemon juice together in a bowl. Season with salt.
• Place salmon on serving plates, spoon dressing over top, and sprinkle with dill.

FRESH SALMON WITH DILL & CAPERS

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt with the mustard, lemon zest, dill and capers and season with pepper. Now use to coat the salmon really well.
• If serving now, either grill the salmon on foil for 6-8 mins (there is no need to turn), or barbecue for 3-4 mins on each side, preferably in fish grill to make turning easier. Serve with new potatoes and lemon wedges, alongside green veg and salad leaves.

FLAKED SALMON SALAD WITH DIJON, LEMON, AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Stir in scallion, capers, and dill; season with salt and pepper. Fold in flaked salmon.

7-MINUTE SALMON PICCATA

Steps:

• Season salmon with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Sprinkle flour onto one side of each fillet and pat gently onto the fish.
• Heat clarified butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, floured side down, and let sear for 2 ½ minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover with foil.
• Add capers to the skillet and press with the back of a fork to gently mash. Pour in wine and lemon juice; add lemon zest. Swirl the pan to combine. Let reduce by half, about 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter; swirl the pan or stir with a spoon or spatula until butter is almost fully melted. Transfer salmon and any accumulated juices from the plate back into the skillet. Allow butter to fully melt while spooning sauce over salmon.
• Pour in water to thin sauce if needed; continue to spoon sauce over salmon and cook until salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the fillets should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Sprinkle parsley over top.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate; spoon pan sauce over salmon.

SALMON WITH CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.
• Place the salmon in the bottom of the pot, skin side down. Spray the fillets lightly with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle with the garlic and capers, scatter on the peppers, and add half the wine.
• Pierce each potato multiple times with a fork and drop into the pot (if they are large, slice them into chunks). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Add the broccoli and arrange to fit snugly inside the pot. Pour in the rest of the wine.
• Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
