For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of softened butter. Adjust the amount of Greek seasoning to your taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Ensure the salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal safety and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
