Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce

  • Melt butter over low heat on stove

Notes

Cooking times may vary depending upon thickness of salmon and desired temperature. The USDA recommends cooking to an internal temperature of 145 degrees f
Keep in mind, temperature will rise as salmon rests, so you may want to cook until 5 degrees under desired temperature.
