01 -

The sauce strikes that perfect balance between creamy richness and fiery kick that keeps you coming back for another bite
Everything comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a restaurant kitchen
The leftovers actually improve overnight as the salmon soaks up even more of that incredible sauce

02 -

Dont skip patting the salmon dry before seasoning, otherwise the oil will just slide right off
The sauce thickens slightly as it sits on the hot salmon, which is actually exactly what you want
If your salmon fillets vary wildly in thickness, tuck the thin ends under to create more even pieces

03 -

For crispy skin on the edges, switch on the broiler for 60 seconds after saucing the salmon
Room temperature salmon cooks more evenly than cold straight from the refrigerator
