My Special Sauce Recipe for Salmon

This recipe serves about 3 to 4 people, depending on how much sauce each person adds. If you want, start by making a smaller amount just to try it out. Start slowly, so you can adjust the ingredients to make the recipe more to your liking.

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (or white wine)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Simple Directions:

In fact, making this sauce takes less than 5 minutes. You just need to gather the ingredients I gave you above and follow the step by step below.

Step 1 – Melt Butter

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic.

Step 2 – Cook Garlic and Add Liquids

Sauté the garlic for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant but not browned. Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth (or white wine). Stir to combine.

Step 3 – Sweeten the Sauce

Add the honey or maple syrup to the sauce, stirring until fully incorporated. This will balance out the acidity of the lemon juice

Step 4 – Simmer

Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can let it reduce further.

Step 5 – The Perfect Season

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed and enjoy your delicious and flavorful salmon with this simple yet elegant lemon garlic butter sauce!
