Savory Salmon with a Lemon/Parsley sauce

Craving some fish? Salmon is always a great choice, and can be very versatile. The flavor of a good salmon fillet goes with so many different styles. I tried this one the other night and was very happy with it!

Salmon fillet (fresh or frozen, wild caught is MUCH better and healthier than farm raised): depends on how many people you're feeding. It's just me around here, so I used 1 frozen salmon fillet approx. .38 lb. For each fillet, follow the below:
Onion
Lemon
Parsley
Butter
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Garlic Powder
Black pepper
Capers (optional)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Cut up onion and lemon into thin slices. Get a large piece of foil (large enough for the fillet and have extra to wrap it into a tight packet)and layer onion slices and lemon slices on it. Put salmon fillet on top of bed of onion/lemon. Pour a bit of olive oil over it, sprinkle on some sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Add another layer of onion/lemon on top; add capers if desired. Wrap fillet to seal it in the foil; put in oven for 30 min or so, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

When the fish is almost done, in a saucepan over low heat, combine: a bit of butter (depending on your taste and how many fillets you're making), parsley (fresh or dried), 1-3 mashed/pressed cloves of garlic, and the juice of 1-2 lemons. Bring to a low boil to let all the ingredients cook together.

Once salmon is done, discard the extra juices from the foil, and plate salmon with lemon/onion slices. Drizzle butter sauce over and eat!


Enjoy!!
