Recipe for baked salmon with browned butter sauceDelicious and juicy oven-baked salmon with spices and a sauce of browned butter with chopped capers, parsley, and lemon. It is easy everyday food that the whole family loves to eat. Serve with new potatoes, steamed asparagus, or your favorite side dish.
The oven is preheated to 200 degrees Celcius and set up for ordinary heat.
The salmon side is prepared. Go through it for bones and remove them with tweezers if you come across any.
Next, prepare the marinade for the salmon. In a small bowl, add the olive oil, onion powder, and garlic powder. Finely chop the fresh dill and put it in the bowl together with 1 tbsp. the lemon zest as well as salt and pepper. - I usually use fine salt, it is easier to distribute over the salmon.
Stir it all together thoroughly.
Now grease the salmon thoroughly in the marinade. Then you can refrigerate it for a few hours, or as I have done here in the recipe, put it in the oven immediately.
Place a piece of baking paper on a baking sheet and move the salmon side over. Now place the baking tray with the salmon in the middle of the preheated oven and cook it for 20 minutes.
When the time is up, the salmon is taken out. Let it rest on the baking sheet, or a cutting board while you prepare the butter sauce.
Finely chop the capers and parsley and grate the zest of the lemon.
In a pan, melt the butter over high heat. When it starts to get a nutty scent and is slightly brown, add the chopped capers, parsley, and lemon zest. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the sauce and stir.
Take the sauce off the heat and pour a little of it over the salmon before serving. The rest of the sauce goes in a small heated bowl and is served with the salmon.
