Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.13 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or skillet over low heat and allow it to melt gently. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Ensure the garlic becomes fragrant but does not brown, as this could cause a bitter flavor.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a small serving bowl or drizzle directly over your desired dish.
Use immediately as a topper for steaks, baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, or toasted bread, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
