Notes

*Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
There is usually enough juice in one average-sized lemon for this sauce.
Slicing the garlic clove down the center and removing the core is the way to go for this recipe. It will give you a more mellow garlic taste. Leaving the center core in the cloves gives you a more sharp garlic flavour.
If you want to see a demonstration of how to remove the core from the garlic cloves, I show you how at the very start of the recipe video which is just above the recipe instructions above.
It's important that you don't burn the garlic because it becomes bitter.
Adding the lemon juice once the pan is off the heat helps to keep that bright fresh lemon taste.
If you don't have unsalted butter that's ok, salted butter is fine just adjust the amount of salt required at the end.
