    Made this last night for dinner. I am not a fish eater but this was pretty good. I never had capers before but really liked the taste with the salmon. I also got confused on when to put the capers in as they were listed in the directions twice, because I never cooked them before but I did add them in with the thyme and lemon. Still turned out tasty!

  • My spouse loved it - enjoyed the slight tanginess of the capers and lemon juice. Gave it 4 out of 5 stars :). I didn't enjoy it as much - gave it 3 out of 5 stars. Taste is subjective LOL :). It was quick and very easy to prepare.
