Lemon Butter

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It may separate slightly; stir or whisk before use.

For a smoother sauce, gently melt the butter and whisk in the lemon juice. Avoid boiling, as it can cause the butter to break.

Add herbs like parsley, chives, or dill at the end of cooking for a fresh flavor boost.

Taste and adjust seasoning. You might need a pinch of salt or a touch of sweetness depending on your ingredients.

Seafood (fish, shrimp, scallops)

Chicken and other poultry

Asparagus, broccoli, green beans

Pasta and risotto

Bread for dipping

Overheating the butter, which can cause it to separate and become oily.

Adding too much lemon juice at once, leading to an overly tart flavor. Add it gradually and taste.
