Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place the sugar in a small nonstick skillet, drizzle with lemon juice and water, and cook over medium heat, stirring until dissolved. Then stop stirring and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture turns amber, 4-5 minutes. Watch carefully, otherwise the caramel will burn quickly.
Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it will splatter) and whisk. Stir in the butter until smooth. Remove the caramel from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and coarse salt. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
