Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for a wild-caught salmon if possible, as it has a richer flavor and is lower in contaminants. If you're using farmed salmon, choose one that is certified organic or sustainably raised.
- Cook the salmon to the right temperature. Salmon is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that it is still slightly pink in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Make sure the sauce is hot. The lemon butter sauce should be hot when you pour it over the salmon, so that it melts the butter and coats the fish evenly.
- Serve immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked, so that it is still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Salmon with lemon butter sauce is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of rich, flaky salmon and tangy, buttery sauce is simply irresistible. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, this dish is sure to be a hit.
