Ingredients
Fish
- 2 pounds salmon fillet skin side down
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
Vegetables
- 1 small onion sliced and separated into rings
- 6 slices lemon
Sauce
- ¼ cup butter cut into small chunks
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon caper brine
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- ¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; grease the foil lightly.
- Place salmon fillet with skin side down on foil. Season salmon with lemon-pepper and onion salt; top with onion rings and lemon slices, dot with butter. Fold foil around salmon and seal tightly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Unseal the foil and turn the oven's broiler on. Continue cooking the salmon under the broiler until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 12 minutes.
- While the salmon bakes, stir sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine, capers, chopped onion, caper brine, lemon juice, horseradish, dill weed, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Serve with the salmon.
