Tips
- Always prefer fresh, wild-caught salmon as it tastes better, is more natural, and sustainable.
- Leave the skin on the salmon to add flavor and keep it moist.
- Season high, about a foot away from what you're seasoning, to cover all the surface area.
- Do not heat the sauce too much while whisking in the butter to prevent separation.
