This quick and easy recipe, ready in just 25 minutes, combines savory, nutty, and citrusy flavors for a perfectly balanced bite.

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, toasted hazelnuts, minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set the hazelnut butter aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, place the ham steaks in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until they are heated through and slightly browned.
Transfer the cooked ham steaks to a serving platter.
While the ham steaks are still warm, top each piece with a generous dollop of the prepared hazelnut butter. Allow the butter to melt slightly over the ham.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
