Ingredients | Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Fillet Recipe

½ pound baby red and yellow potatoes, or to taste

1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed, or to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 sprig chopped fresh dill

½ lemon, sliced

½ lemon, juiced

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

⅓ teaspoon coarse salt

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 ½ tablespoons capers, roughly chopped

1 lemon, juiced

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes and green beans, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Brush the shiny side of 2 large pieces of aluminum foil with 1 teaspoon olive oil each. Place salmon skin-side down in the center. Brush remaining olive oil and garlic over salmon. Sprinkle dill on top. Divide lemon slices over salmon; squeeze 1/2 lemon on top. Season with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/3 teaspoon salt.

Cover salmon with 2 pieces of aluminum foil, shiny-side down. Roll aluminum foil inwards on all sides to create a pouch. Transfer pouches to a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.

Mix mayonnaise and capers together in a small bowl to make a tartar sauce. Stir in juice from 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Serve steamed potatoes, green beans, and tartar sauce alongside salmon.

Substitute 2 finely chopped dill pickles or 2 1/2 teaspoons green relish for the capers if desired. If using relish, mix in some chopped dill.
