About Salmon with capers

Salmon with capers is a flavorful dish often associated with Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing tender salmon fillets complemented by the tangy, salty burst of capers. Typically prepared by pan-searing or baking the salmon, the dish may include ingredients like olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh herbs like dill or parsley to enhance its taste. Salmon, the star ingredient, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health and brain function. It’s also an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins B12 and D, and selenium. Capers, though small, provide antioxidants and add depth of flavor without overwhelming the dish. While it is generally healthy, the use of added fats like butter or excess salt should be moderated to keep it nutritious. Salmon with capers is celebrated not only for its bold flavors but also for its impressive health benefits.
