Easy Lemon Butter Sauce For Fish And Seafood Recipes

HOW TO MAKE LEMON BUTTER SAUCE FOR FISH

Steps:

• In a small enameled saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
• Add the lemon juice and garlic powder. Heat, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, until lemon butter has turned a darker yellow color but not browned. (Time will vary depending on the size and shape of your pan. Be careful not to burn it.)
• Remove from heat immediately. If your sauce cooked too long and has browned bits, strain through a fine-mesh sieve.

EASY LEMON BUTTER SAUCE FOR FISH

Steps:

• Make the brown butter: place a heavy-bottomed light-coloured pan on medium-low heat, add sliced butter swirling or whisking from when the butter starts to melt. The butter will begin to foam a bit, continue to whisk until the butter is golden brown, and the milk-solids settles at the bottom forming brown speckled bit and butter is nutty in aroma. Take it off the heat immediately as the butter can go from brown to burnt within a twinkle of an eye. The whole process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Pour the butter into a heat-proof bowl to stop the cooking process.
• Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, and whisk to combine for about 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper and serve on fish, pasta, mashed potatoes or as desired
