4 servings
- 4 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter, cut into 4 pieces, cold
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tipSwap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat. - 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
- 2 tbsp low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it shimmers. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just softened, about 1 minute — watch closely so it does not brown.

Add the broth and lemon juice to the pan and increase the heat to medium. Simmer until the liquid reduces by about half and the mixture looks slightly syrupy, about 2–3 minutes.
