Yum! Made this last night for dinner and I did cut the recipe in half being just DH and I but left the sauce the same amount to put over the salmon and some garlic rice. Loved the flavor of the lemon and capers together. I also added a splash of white wine. Served along with the rice and a green salad and it made a FABULOUS MEAL. Thank you.

This was so tasty-rich,tender and buttery. The flavor is so very good and this was a snap to prepare. Beautiful to look at as well and perfect for company. For health reasons, I reduced the butter by half and this was no problem.

Very, very good! I have fixed this in the oven as directed and have also cooked the salmon on my Hamilton Beach grill after coating the salmon first with the butter-lemon mixture, then adding the capers to the sauce to pour on the salmon. Great both ways.
