    This Salmon with Capers Sauce is delicious and easy enough to make as a weeknight meal. If you're not into salmon, just use your favorite fish. This delicious sauce would be fabulous on whatever you pour it, such as chicken, turkey, tofu or pork.

    I served the salmon on top of white rice with avocado salad and it made for a fantastic meal.

    Buen provecho!

      Thanks for all your wonderful recipes.......
      I love capers and used them often, even on scramble eggs, tuna mayo salad etc Never thought of putting them on salmon. What a great idea!!!

      Salmon is my favourite fish. I have never tried it with caper sauce which sounds delicious.
