Description

A dill sauce with sour cream, mayonnaise, and horseradish accompanies a salmon fillet baked in a sealed aluminum foil packet for a centerpiece entree for the dinner table.

Ingredients

1 (2 pound) salmon fillet
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
6 slices lemon
1/4 cup butter, cut into small chunks
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon caper brine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
3/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; grease the foil lightly.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
