Ingredients

2 5 ounce salmon fillets
kosher salt and pepper
4 lemon slices
non-stick spray
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons capers drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
juice of 1/2 of a lemon
kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. (Note: I don't like the bones so I remove them. Some use needle-nose pliers, I used my finger nails but it did take me a little while). Sprinkle fillets with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Place 2 lemon slices on top of each fillet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and tent with aluminum foil for 10 more minutes. Fish will continue to cook during this time. It will flake easily when done.
While salmon is cooking, in a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter has melted add garlic, capers, lemon zest and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Remove lemon slices and discard. Gently slide a turner or serving spatula between the skin and the flesh of the fillet to remove the skin, it should separate very easily. Transfer fillet to a serving platter and spoon lemon caper butter over the top. Serve.

If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute chopped green olives or diced pickles.
To make a quick and easy lemon butter sauce, simply melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
If you're using a nonstick pan, you may not need to add any oil or butter to cook the salmon.
Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it will become dry and tough.
Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
