SLOW ROASTED WILD SALMON CAPERS LEMON BUTTER-1

Slow roasting salmon with garlic, lemon, and capers blends Mediterranean flavors with a modern slow-roasting method, yielding incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth fish. Baking at a low temperature preserves the buttery texture and rich omega-3 oils, while allowing the bright, briny flavors of lemon and capers to gently infuse every bite. Wild king salmon is ideal for this recipe due to its higher fat content, but coho or sockeye can also be used with a shorter roasting time (see tip below). Serve with roasted baby potatoes or cauliflower, asparagus, or a simple arugula salad for a nourishing, restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients
1¾ pounds wild salmon fillets
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers drained
4 cloves garlic chopped
½ teaspoons dried dill
¼ teaspoons sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
