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.

Tips for Making Seared Salmon with Raisin and Caper Butter
1. Use high-quality ingredients: Select fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Use unsalted butter, fresh raisins, capers, and herbs. 2. Preheat the pan: Preheat your skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat before adding the salmon. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking. 3. Season the salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasoning blend, before searing. This will enhance the flavor of the fish. 4. Sear the salmon: Sear the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. The fish should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center. 5. Make the raisin and caper butter: While the salmon is searing, make the raisin and caper butter by combining melted butter, raisins, capers, lemon juice, and parsley in a small bowl. 6. Serve the salmon: Place the cooked salmon fillets on a serving plate and spoon the raisin and caper butter over the top. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.Conclusion
Seared salmon with raisin and caper butter is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The salmon is seared until perfectly cooked and then topped with a flavorful raisin and caper butter. This dish is sure to impress your guests and will leave them wanting more.
