Notes

This may sound a broken record but always always preheat your oven at the right temperature.
Using a cast-iron skillet or stainless steel pan is recommended to achieve crispy salmon skin.
You may saute some greens over the buttery sauce after removing the fish. Example: kale, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, brussel sprouts, etc.
