Salmon with lemon dill sauce

                                  Baked Salmon



I love fresh salmon and when ever it goes on sale I love to get it! I love to cook it different ways but this is my hubby's favorite way I make it. Its quick and easy to make. In the summer I will make this on the grill in a big foil pouch, but since my grill is covered in snow I chose the oven tonight. Also tonight I used frozen salmon because the commissary was out of fresh :( however it still turned out pretty darn good!

Baked Salmon

2 large salmon fillets
1 lemon sliced thinly
1/2 onion sliced
1/2 jar capers
butter
salt and pepper
dill

Place fillets in a large pan. Top the salmon with tabs of butter, onion slices, lemon slices, capers, salt and pepper and sprinkle with dill. I used dried but fresh would be great!

Cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 425 for 20-30 min. mine was closer to 30 because my fish was frozen when I started. While this is baking I make a lemon dill sauce that is super easy.

Lemon Dill Sauce

1/2 lemon juiced
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp dried dill
salt and pepper


Mix all ingredients and chill. Sometimes I will add a little garlic powder (depending on my mood)
Tonight I took some help from my prepping earlier this week for my side dish and I also steamed a little broccoli. Its nice when part of the meal was already done!
I forgot to take a pic of my plate..I guess I was too starving and just dug right in..luckily I caught my daughter before she started eating and I snagged a pic of hers :)
