I'm making Salmon tonight, I started a significantly lower calorie diet and I just can't waste 100-200 calories on butter to drizzle on the salmon as it cooks. Whats gonna be the best butter substitute for this purpose? Its gonna get mixed with lemon juice, and the salmons gonna be covered with garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
This sounds like a good plan. Mix the oil up in the lemon juice to emulsify, then use a brush to evenly spread the mixture. I think the original recipe assumes lots of the butter is just going to drip off the fish into your pan.
