Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat until foamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low, add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice and salt, and serve immediately over pasta, vegetables, or as a dip.

Notes

This sauce is best right after you make it, while it is still loose and glossy. If it sits and firms up, just reheat it gently with a splash of water.
