This sauce was amazing! I served it over salmon and it was the perfect complement. The sauce was rich and creamy, with a slightly tangy flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been made with less lemon juice. But overall, it was a good sauce and I would definitely try it again with a few modifications.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of butter sauces. But I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this sauce was. It was light and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the fish.
