Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice + zest from 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt see note
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the butter into pats and add it to a small bowl. Microwave in intervals (I use half power so it doesn't splatter everywhere) until melted.
- Add the remaining ingredients and whisk/stir until fully combined. Taste & adjust as needed. I like to let it cool a bit and serve it at room temperature so it thickens up slightly, but you can serve it when it's still warm or even cold straight out of the fridge.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If using regular table salt, you may want to add half the amount. Sea salt and kosher salt are less potent.
