• Slice salmon into 4 portions and arrange them on a lined baking dish, keeping salmon skin-side-down.

DAVE'S BAKED SALMON WITH GARLIC-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute. Cut two 12-inch square sheets of aluminum foil and spoon a small amount of butter onto each. Place 1 salmon fillet on each square and lightly season with salt and pepper. Fold aluminum foil around each fillet to create little packets that will hold the butter sauce.
• Add garlic to the remaining butter in the bowl. Spoon over the fillets, coating thoroughly; place 3 sprigs of dill on each. Place 2 lemon slices over the dill. Spread capers and brine evenly over fillets. Seal the packets and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes; do not overcook. Remove packets from oven and open them.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Bake salmon packets under the broiler until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes.
• Use a large spatula to serve each fillet in a scampi boat. Pour butter sauce and capers over each fillet.

BROILED SALMON WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and saute garlic for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add flour, mixing well with a whisk. Return to medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
• Add evaporated milk, a little at a time, continuing to whisk sauce as it thickens.
• Add sherry and allow sauce to simmer. Stir in 1/4 cup lowfat milk or more, if needed, to thin sauce to a creamy consistency (should lightly coat a spoon).
• Add lemon juice and blend well; set aside.
• Place fish in a small broiling pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Season lightly with pepper.
• Dot each piece with butter and broil for 4-5 minutes per side. Salmon is cooked when fish is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
• Serve immediately with reserved sauce.
