Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Salmon fillets
- 4 small garlic cloves crushed
- 4 tsp Baby capers
- 2 Lemons zest and juice plus extra to serve (optional)
- 2 tbs Fresh Parsley roughly chopped
- 2 tbs Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- To prepare your salmon, lay out 4 sheets of foil on a clean kitchen bench that are large enough to wrap each salmon fillet.
- Place the salmon fillets (skin side down if the skin is on) and season generously with salt and cracked black pepper.
- Divide the crushed garlic, lemon zest, baby capers and the parsley over your steaks. Pour over the lemon juice and olive oil. Gently wrap the foil over the salmon so its enclosed in parcels. Make sure you don't wrap them too tight as you want the air to circulate.
- Transfer the salmon to a baking dish and place in a pre heated oven at 200°. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily if tugged at with a fork.
- Allow to rest for a few minutes before removing the skin and transferring to a serving plate. Serve with lemon wedges.
