Salmon With Lemon Caper Sauce
My neighbor Leslie has seven kids and is a fabulous baker. Her husband goes fishing up north every year and brings home some amazing fish. The result is great food, and the recipe below leads the charge: 3 lbs. fresh salmon 1 ½ tbp lemon juice 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (I like Maille) 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 dashes pepper 3 dashes salt 1 tsp dried basil 1 tbsp fresh dill 3 tbsp capers Mix all ingredients except the fish and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Pour over fish and wrap the whole thing in a foil packet. Bake in a slow oven (275F) 50 minutes, or grill outside for 15 minutes. An alternative sauce is: 3 tbsp honey 1 tbsp grated orange peel 1 tbsp grated lemon peel Juice of 1 lemon 2 tbsp tarragon Blend, brush on salmon and barbeque or grill. I wrap in foil and barbeque. |
