Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of softened butter, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the dill butter evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

- Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of capers, and the juice and zest of 1 lemon. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced slightly.
- Once the salmon is done, transfer the fillets to serving plates and spoon the lemon caper sauce over the top.
- Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon slices if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
