Lemon Butter Salmon is a delectable dish that originated in the Pacific Northwest, where fresh salmon is abundant. This dish has gained popularity for its perfect balance of flavors and its simple yet elegant preparation. Renowned chefs like Tom Douglas in Seattle have elevated this dish, using locally sourced salmon and infusing it with the bright flavors of lemon and rich, creamy butter. The key to a perfect Lemon Butter Salmon lies in the quality of the salmon and the balance of tangy lemon and velvety butter. For a twist, some chefs add herbs like dill or thyme for an extra layer of flavor. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in top seafood restaurants in the Pacific Northwest, where chefs continue to innovate and perfect this classic recipe.
