Lemon and capers is the perfect combination for salmon. The natural juices from the salmon when baked in the oven will create an even richer flavor. Serves 2.

- 1 teaspoon of capers, drained
- 2 large salmon steaks
- 1/2 teaspoon of lemon rind
- 4 tablespoons of lemon juice

Reduce the oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).
