Postup

Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry; make a few cuts on top of the flesh and brush the fish with 2 tbs of olive oil (ore more, depending on the size).

Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fish, and add salt and pepper liberally.

Sprinkle the fresh dill and capers all over the salmon

Slide the fish on top of the leeks, and bake for 15 minutes.
