Ideas And Tips:
• Salmon tastes great when fresh, but if you cannot find any, frozen salmon is fine. Make sure to bring your salmon to room temperature first before cooking it.
• Cold butter is best used for cooking so that it does not curdle. Using unsalted butter will help you keep your sodium levels in control.
