About Lemon-caper sauce
Lemon-caper sauce is a zesty and versatile condiment with roots in Mediterranean cuisine. Made with fresh lemon juice, briny capers, olive oil or butter, garlic, and often a hint of white wine or Dijon mustard, this sauce is known for its tangy, bright flavor profile. It pairs beautifully with fish, chicken, pasta, or vegetables, offering a vibrant culinary accent. Lemon juice provides a dose of vitamin C, while olive oil adds heart-healthy fats. Capers, though small, bring antioxidants and minimal calories. However, the sauce can be higher in sodium due to the capers and salt, and if made with butter, it adds saturated fat. For a lighter option, substitute olive oil for butter and use reduced-sodium capers. This sauce strikes a balance between bold flavor and fresh ingredients, making it a delicious choice for enhancing healthy dishes in moderation.
