This zesty lemon garlic butter sauce is perfect for enhancing your favorite dishes with a burst of citrusy flavor.
Combine the garlic, shallot, white wine, and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Simmering the ingredients allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Continue simmering until the liquid reduces by half, then lower the heat to the lowest setting.
Reducing the liquid concentrates the flavors for a more intense taste.
Gradually whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, ensuring each piece is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Adding the butter slowly helps create a smooth and creamy sauce.
Season with salt to taste and strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a small pan to remove any solids.
Straining the sauce ensures a silky texture, free of any lumps or bits.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite dish, such as grilled fish or steamed vegetables.
This sauce is best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal flavor.
