do capers go well w/baked salmon?!
Answers:
Yes they do. Capers are pickled parts of a flower imported and are very tasty with salmon.
Capers are MADE for eating with baked salmon!...
ELEGANT SALMON PICCATA
(NO WINE)
Four 6-ounce salmon fillets
Kosher salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup all-natural chicken broth
Juice from one lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper, place on a baking dish, and cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 12 to 14 minutes. While the salmon is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk together the broth, lemon juice and flour until well blended and add to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer and stir gently until the liquid thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the capers and parsley. Place the cooked salmon on a plate and drizzle with the sauce. Serve with rice and broccoli on the side.

They are great. You could place the salmon in the baking dish. melt some butter and add olive oil (2Tab Butter 2 Tab Olive Oil) I would brush this mixture over the Salmon. I would the take 1 Tab of the capers and press them with a fork to this add 1/2 cup white wine and pour in dish. Take a thin slice of lemon and place on each salmon fillet. salt and pepper to taste. Bake in a 375 oven 20 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes and enjoy. I make tarter sauce also. Just take some mayo,capers relish and black pepper a little chopped onion blend and love it....

Yes they should, but it kind of depends on what else the salmon is cooked in/with.
