Notes
The salmon tastes far better when baked and eaten right away. Reheating the salmon can cause it to dry out. However, you can mix up the sauce ingredients ahead of time, except the butter. For leftovers, the salmon tastes great cold as part of a salad or in a wrap, and should be refrigerated for 1-2 days before serving cold.
