Note

When making Salmon in Lemon Butter Sauce, you should be careful about the following:

  1. Do not overcook the salmon – Overcooked salmon becomes dry and loses its delicate flavor. Cook until just opaque in the center.
  2. Pat the salmon dry – Moisture on the fillets can prevent proper searing and browning.
  3. Control heat when cooking butter – Butter can burn quickly; use medium heat and watch it closely.
  4. Add lemon juice at the right time – Adding it too early can curdle the sauce; stir it in after the butter is melted and slightly cooled.
  5. Season properly – Balance salt and pepper; under-seasoning can make the dish bland, while over-seasoning can overpower the salmon.
  6. Serve immediately – The sauce is best fresh; letting the salmon sit too long can make it soggy and the sauce separate.

Being mindful of these steps ensures a juicy, flavorful salmon with a silky, vibrant lemon butter sauce.
