Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.*
- While the oven preheats, in a shallow dish mix together 4 cups room temperature water and 3 tablespoons kosher salt. Place the salmon in the water and wait for 15 minutes.
- Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Pat each piece of salmon dry and place it on the foil. Sprinkle the salmon with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt for each fillet and fresh ground pepper. Place the lemon slices and fresh herbs around the salmon (not on top). Close and seal the foil around the salmon.
- Bake the salmon for 10 minutes in the foil. Then open the foil packet so steam can release and bake again for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness, until just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130F in the center). A 1 inch thick fillet should cook in about 15 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the capers and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- When the salmon is done, squeeze with some lemon juice from remaining lemon slices. Spoon the butter sauce over each piece of salmon. Garnish with finely chopped parsley or chives.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Steps:
- Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
- Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
- As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
- Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.

Steps:
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and rub with the lemon juice. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and set aside.
- Dry the capers with a salad spinner. Heat the oil in a frying pan large enough to hold the salmon comfortably. Add the capers and ginger and saute for two minutes.
- Add the salmon skin side down and cook for two minutes, using a spatula to prevent the skin from sticking to the bottom. Turn and brown on the other side. Stir the ginger and capers from time to time to prevent them from burning. Cook the fish to the desired degree and remove it to a heated serving dish. Spoon the capers and ginger on top. Season with pepper, sprinkle with chives and serve.

Tips:
- Fresh is Best: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh salmon fillets. Frozen salmon can also be used, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
- Season Simply: Salmon has a delicate flavor, so a simple seasoning of salt and pepper is all that is needed. Other herbs and spices, such as ginger, garlic, and capers, can be added to taste.
- Cook Gently: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently. Overcooking will make the salmon dry and tough.
- Check for Doneness: The best way to check for doneness is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the salmon. If the salmon flakes easily, it is done.
- Serve Immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to store it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Salmon fillet with ginger and capers is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and delicate flavor, this salmon dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
