Salmon Bake


This recipe takes little preparation, but produces a filling and flavorful dish that is sure to please.  Low in fat and high in protein (over 50% DV), this dish is healthy without tasting healthy.  I squeezed a lemon wedge over the top for a little extra flavor.  Makes four servings.

Ingredients:
  • 4 Medium Yukon Gold Potatoes, Sliced into Small Wedges
  • 2 Tsp. Light Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Dish
  • 1 Clove Garlic, Minced
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • 4 Salmon Fillets, Approx. 4 oz. Each
  • 2 Tbsp. Capers, Drained
  • 4 Lemon Wedges



Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • In large bowl, toss potato wedges, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. dill, garlic, salt and pepper until potatoes are well-coated.
  • Spread potatoes in even layer in greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Bake for 22 - 24 minutes or until potatoes start to brown.
  • Meanwhile, rub both sides of fillets with remaining 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. dill, and salt and pepper.
  • Remove dish from oven after potatoes have browned.
  • Add fillets on top of potatoes.
  • Sprinkle 2 tbsp. capers over entire dish.
  • Return to oven for another 12 - 14 minutes or until salmon flakes easily.
  • Serve with lemon wedge.
