When you find confusing instructions for something, the first thing to do is to see if it has been posted elsewhere.

It took me five seconds to find the recipe on the author's website:

https://www.mymoderncookery.com/sea-bass-lemon-butter-caper-sauce/

where 2 tablespoons of capers is listed.

Note that this type of sleuthing is not exclusive to Food52 or food recipes in general. It is applicable to *ANY* set of instructions on the Internet: Microsoft Windows troubleshooting, arts & crafts, auto repair, whatever.

The quantity of capers in this particular recipe is not etched in stone. Capers are pretty assertive in flavor so depending on the personal preferences of the people at your dinner table, you might consider cutting back to 1 tablespoon (thus 1/3 tablespoon per serving).

Best of luck.

For that quantity of fish, I'd use 1 - 2 tablespoons, depending on how much my I (and my guests) liked capers. Too many and they could overwhelm the sauce. ;o)
