For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic powder mixture. If you don't have dried basil, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of fresh basil, finely chopped. To prevent the salmon from sticking to the skillet, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the butter and salmon. Salmon is best served immediately after cooking, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
