Notes
For variations, you can swap salmon with trout or cod, use ghee or plant-based butter for a dairy-free version, and try lime or orange instead of lemon.
Store leftovers in an airtight container; they’ll stay fresh for up to three days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish.
Enhance the dish with additional fresh herbs like dill or thyme for a flavor boost.
Always pat the salmon dry before cooking for the best sear. Consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce for an elegant touch!
