Salmon with Lemon Caper Butter
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Salmon with Lemon Caper Butter is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Fish Friday Foodies. We get together monthly to post on various topics that a host suggests.

It’s my turn to host so I suggested the topic of “Salmonchanted Evening” (as in Some Enchanted Evening) to share salmon recipes suitable for a fancier dinner or date night.
I decided to do a baked salmon filet sprinkled with my seafood grill seasoning which would then be covered with a creamy wine and lemon pan sauce which is really super easy to make.
This can be paired with something as easy as a wild rice mix and a tossed salad on the side. Which if you are planning a romantic dinner for two, leaves you with lots more planning time for a dessert.
Or you might simply like to have this as a family weeknight meal. If you like to switch out the wine for kids or those who don’t drink, the wine can easily be subbed with vegetable broth.
