OMG mayo coated salmon? I want to try that now! LOL Salmon is already very rich but sounds amazing.

I use unsalted butter just for that reason. I like to salt while cooking so if I use butter there is already salt in it. I feel like sweet cream butter seems more buttery to me. Salted reminds me of margerine.

Try roasting your veggies in the oven with just garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. The texture is so much better than steamed or boiled and you don't really need the butter.

I'm no longer a coffee drinker, but when I was, I noticed it was more of a social thing. Co workers going on coffee break so I would go also. But I tried different kinds of coffee and found a few types that I didn't even need sugar. Just put in some cream and that was it.
