In the Kitchen: Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce Recipe

In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!

I am all for easy recipes that need few ingredients and take less time to cook. Kita naman sa mga recipes ko di ba, lahat madali lang because I don’t have chef-level skills, I just want to serve delicious and healthy meals for my family.

Cooking with fish as the main ingredient is one of my #momhacks. First, ang bilis lang maluto ng fish, 30 minutes lang may ulam ka na. Second, it’s healthy! A favorite in our household is salmon, cooked either pan-fried or with soup.

Kaya naman I’m so happy that SeaKing PH sent me their Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon products, they have salmon chunks, slab, belly and steaks. The belly part is good for sinigang na salmon sa miso, and the steak is perfect for my Salmon in Lemon Butter Sauce.

I love using SeaKing’s packed salmon! It’s pre-cut already so all I need to do is thaw, wash, and cook!

What is Keta Salmon by the way? Salmon has five species and Keta is one of them. Keta salmon variety is popular for those who count their calories because it has lower calories and also has lower fat content.

SeaKing products are available at leading supermarkets nationwide.
