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.
