Equipment

Grill
Small Skillet

Ingredients

4 salmon filets
4 Tablespoons butter unsalted
2 Tablespoons jarred capers drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic grated or minced
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley minced
Kosher salt to taste

Instructions

Spray aluminum foil lightly with cooking oil, then place it on your grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 350-375 degrees).
Place the 4 salmon filets on the foil in a single layer and grill for 10-15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and the meat flakes easily when a fork is run over it.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the 4 Tablespoons butter over low heat.
Once melted, add the 2 Tablespoons jarred capers (rinsed) and 1 clove garlic. Bring to a simmer, and continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and add the 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley. Season to taste with kosher salt.
Enjoy your salmon with the lemon caper sauce spooned over the top.
