Ingredients
  • 1 Pound whole wild salmon filet
  • 1/3 Cup light sour cream
  • 2 Table spoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 Table spoon finely chopped
  • 1 Table spoons drained capers
  • 1 Tea spoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 Tea spoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 wedges Lemon
Instructions
  1. 1
    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 275ºF. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easiest cleanup. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator to take some of the chill off.
  2. 2
    Step 2
    In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 2 tablespoons of mustard, the dill, capers, caper brine, salt, and pepper. Zest half of the lemon into to the bowl, then cut it in half and squeeze in the juice from half. Mix to combine. The sauce should be thick but drizzle-able; if it’s too thick, add water a small splash at a time until it thins out (or more lemon juice if you like).
  3. 3
    Step 3
    Place the salmon, skin side down, onto lined baking sheet. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Spread a heaping spoonful (about 3 tablespoons) of the mustard sauce in a thin layer all over the salmon.
  4. 4
    Step 4
    Roast the salmon until it is just barely cooked through, still incredibly moist, and flakes easily with a fork when you remove it (135ºF when checked with an instant read thermometer), 35 to 50 minutes depending on the shape of your salmon.
  5. 5
    Step 5
    Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, during which time it will come up another 5ºF.
  6. 6
    Step 6
    Drizzle the remaining sauce over the salmon or pass it on the side, garnish with the fresh dill sprigs, then serve.

Note

For optimal flavor and texture, use fresh,high quality salmon when making the Easy Slow Roasted Salmon recipe.To bring out the flavor of the fillets, liberally season them with salt, pepper, and herbs. For the best tenderness, the salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C), which may be measured with a meat thermometer.Keep an eye on the cooking time—thickner fillets can require a little longer. After roasting, let the salmon rest for a few minutes so that the fluids can re-distribute, resulting in a moist and tasty dish.
