A simple and delicious salmon dish with a lemon butter sauce
This dish is one of my favorite recipes to make for a special occasion. It is always a hit with my family and friends. I first came across it at a dinner party I attended at a friend's house. Everyone at the table raved about it and I knew I had to learn how to make it myself. I asked my friend for the recipe and have been making it ever since. I love to serve it with a side of roasted vegetables and a light salad. It's always a hit!
