Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Use a baking sheet for the salmon.

Slice the lemon into thin slices for eating later.

Slice the onion into rings, keeping some thicker for frying and some thinner for raw use.

Melt unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 3-5 minutes.

Add olive oil to the browned butter to stop the cooking process.

Add the lemon slices and onion rings to the skillet and fry them quickly in the butter and oil.

Add brined capers to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.

Pour the mixture from the skillet over the salmon fillets on the baking sheet.

Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
