This pungent, slightly tart sauce goes suprisingly well with salmon and does not overwhelm the fish’s taste. My mother-in-law obtained this recipe from my husband’s school cook book when he was a little boy and now we rarely like to eat our salmon any other way. It’s easy to make double and refrigerate half for the next time around. It works well on any fish.
It’s handy to take the butter out of the fridge ahead of time – it’s much quicker to prepare the sauce when the butter is soft.
