Instructions
- Melt the butter over low heat in a small skillet.
- Add the garlic and sauté gently for a minute. You don't want to brown the garlic, you are merely infusing the flavor into the butter and taking the raw edge off.
- Whisk in the lemon juice and capers and let the sauce gently simmer for another minute or so.
- Add the parsley and season with salt if needed.
