Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons jarred capers, drained
- 1 clove garlic, grated or minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, ensuring it liquefies without browning.
- Add Capers and Garlic: Once the butter has melted, add the drained capers and minced or grated garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Finish Sauce: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and minced parsley. Season with kosher salt to taste to balance the flavors.
- Serve: Pour the sauce over cooked fish, shrimp, or chicken and enjoy immediately for a fresh, zesty enhancement.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled.
- Adjust garlic and capers to your taste preferences for a milder or more intense flavor.
- This sauce is best served warm and should be used immediately for optimal freshness.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or a vegan butter alternative.
- Chop the parsley finely to evenly distribute its fresh flavor throughout the sauce.
