Please make sure that you use wild salmon and not farm-raised. Farm-raised salmon are fed grains, which is not their natural diet. Because of that, farm-raised salmon contains very low levels of Omega 3 fatty acids which we need to be in good health. Fish farming is also bad for the environment, and the fish live in crowded pens and are not treated very humanely.
This goes well with steamed asparagus or broccoli. If you have leftover herb butter, you can put it over the vegetables. It is a good idea to make extra herb butter and have it on hand to make this simple meal even easier.
