Grow the herbs yourself for a delicious Lemon Butter and Herb Sauce for a savory fish meal! Grab the
sauce pan and
whisk and get ready to Go Fish!
Ingredients
- 3 cubes butter, room temperature, cut in 6 cubes
- 2 tablespoons minced onion, or 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons snipped or chopped herbs (any combination of herbs from your Aerogarden)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, if using unsalted butter
Directions
Melt ˝ tablespoon of the butter in a small
sauce pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion or shallot and stir until it softens, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the lemon juice.
As soon as the lemon juice simmers, add the remaining butter cubes and beat with a wire
whisk, still over medium-low heat, until the butter melts and the sauce is creamy.
Remove from heat and
stir in the herbs. Add the salt if you used unsalted butter. If you are not ready to serve the sauce right away, keep it warm by putting the sauce pan in a larger
pan of hot water.
Serves 4.
