Why Garlic Butter Gravy + Salmon Works

Salmon is naturally rich, which makes it the perfect canvas for savory garlic and butter notes. This sauce:

• Enhances the salmon without overpowering it
  
  

• Adds moisture and silkiness to every bite
  
  

• Complements roasted vegetables and potatoes effortlessly
  
  

Spoon it on just before serving, and the warmth of the fish melts the flavors together.
