Regardless if you think Lance Armstrong took performance enhancement drugs to help win his various bike races, you have to admire the Livestrong organization he’s built. So many health article searches point to the Livestrong site, it is often eclipsing other medical or nutrition based sites. Some things still surprise me though. The top link returned on a Google search of “salmon in butter” is the Livestrong site. While I can understand the salmon being there (it is chock full of vitamins), the “in butter” confounds me.
Any recipe with a whole stick of butter can’t be wrong!
A great cut of salmon.
Perfectly seasoned.
Frying up the Salmon.
Making the sauce.

Why does the butter confound you? It’s about time the rubbish put about by the margarine (mostly water and one molecule away from plastic) makers was laid to rest. But if you really do want to avoid animal fat then just go for an oil – olive, sunflower, whatever – without the water and other added chemicals which make up margarine. Butter is best, and healthy, and natural, and … of course the taste! grumpytyke

My favorite thing my mama cooks for me is salmon. Grilled or baked, I will always claim the largest cut for myself. Thanks for the nostalgia!
