SALMON CAPERS AND DILL

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons (50g) butter, diced
4 (4-ounce/125g) salmon fillets (with the skin left on, if you wish)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed with 6 to 8 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Place a frying pan over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add a couple of pats (knobs) of butter, very quickly followed by the salmon, with the skin side down. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown underneath. Turn over, season with salt and pepper, and fry for another couple of minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through. (The timing will depend on the thickness of the salmon fillets and heat of the pan.) Add the capers, along with the remaining butter, and lemon juice mixture and boil for 1 minute. Season to taste, adding more lemon juice or water, if necessary. Transfer the salmon onto warmed plates, stir the chopped dill into the sauce, and pour over the fish to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Fresh salmon fillets should be firm and have a vibrant color. Capers should be small and green, and dill should be fresh and aromatic.
  • Season the salmon well: Salmon is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. For a classic flavor, try using lemon pepper seasoning.
  • Cook the salmon carefully: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use high-quality capers and dill: Capers and dill are two key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use high-quality products. Look for capers that are small and green, and dill that is fresh and aromatic.
  • Serve immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make the dish ahead of time, you can cook the salmon and then chill it. When you're ready to serve, reheat the salmon gently and then top with the capers and dill.

Conclusion:

Salmon, capers, and dill is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. This dish is easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
