- Bake for 15 minutes. Cooking time will vary greatly depending on the thickness of the salmon.
- While salmon is cooking, lightly spray a small frying pan and heat to medium. Add the drained and blotted 1/4 cup brined capers. Saute for 3-5 minutes, or until capers start to crisp and brown. Remove from heat and salt aside until salmon is complete.
