Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed sheet pan (or cookie sheet) with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, capers, Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
- Place salmon fillet, skin side down, on prepared sheet pan. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top. Bake, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes, or until desired doneness (I like to cook it to around 130-135 degrees).
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Note that the salmon will continue cooking for a few minutes after you take it out of the oven.
- Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray.
- Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. (Note: I don't like the bones so I remove them. Some use needle-nose pliers, I used my finger nails but it did take me a little while). Sprinkle fillets with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Place 2 lemon slices on top of each fillet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and tent with aluminum foil for 10 more minutes. Fish will continue to cook during this time. It will flake easily when done.
- While salmon is cooking, in a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter has melted add garlic, capers, lemon zest and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove lemon slices and discard. Gently slide a turner or serving spatula between the skin and the flesh of the fillet to remove the skin, it should separate very easily. Transfer fillet to a serving platter and spoon lemon caper butter over the top. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for a salmon fillet that is firm and has a bright pink or orange color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Cook the salmon to the proper temperature. Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the salmon is cooked through.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook the salmon just until it is cooked through.
- Use fresh lemon and capers. Fresh lemon and capers will give your salmon the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemon or capers, you can use bottled lemon juice or capers, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store the salmon, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Baked salmon with lemon and capers is a simple and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its flaky flesh and zesty flavor, baked salmon with lemon and capers is sure to please everyone at your table.
