  1. Melt the butter over low heat in a small skillet.
  2. 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.
  3. Whisk in the lemon juice and capers and let the sauce gently simmer for another minute or so.
  4. Add the parsley and season with salt if needed.
