1. Spread butter all over the salmon fillet
2. Place the salmon fillet into a microwave-safe container/plate/bowl, skin-side up

Black Pepper Sauce

Dinner's ready :)



Result: A happy hubby (with a fake smile -_-!)

PS: although overall it was a good attempt, but I miscalculated the portion for my hubby. In the end, my hubby still asked me to cook instant noodle because he was not full.. Sorry hunny.. T^T


Btw, for the black pepper and the dried basil leaves, I usually use this brand. It's affordable :)
