Lemon Caper Butter Sauce Recipe

Lemon Caper Butter Sauce Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh savory
  1. Crush capers in a small bowl with the back of a spoon.
  2. Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams and is golden; saute capers until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add lemon juice, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced by one-third, 1 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir cold butter and savory into lemon mixture, stirring constantly until butter is completely melted and sauce is shiny and thick, about 1 minute.
