Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons salted butter*
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus zest of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan or skillet over low heat.
- Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute (keep the heat low and don’t let it brown!).
- Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley and kosher salt.
- Serve immediately. Store leftovers refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 1 month; it solidifies when cold so re-heat on the stovetop before serving. Note that the parsley loses its bright green color; you can add more fresh chopped parsley when serving.
Notes
*This quantity makes ¼ cup and is easy to double to make a larger recipe. If all you have is unsalted butter, add an additional ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt to the recipe.
