Pescatarian Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee is the kind of finishing touch that makes a simple weeknight meal feel genuinely special. The combination of fresh dill, lemon zest, and a whisper of garlic transforms clarified butter into something you'll want to spoon over everything. It comes together in minutes with just a saucepan and a whisk — no complicated technique required. Because ghee is naturally dairy-protein-free and every ingredient here is clean and whole, it fits beautifully into a grain-free, paleo-aligned approach without any compromise on richness or flavor. It's particularly brilliant draped over grilled fish or salmon, where the citrus cuts through the fat and the dill echoes those classic seafood pairings. Make a jar on Sunday and you'll have an instant flavor upgrade ready in the fridge all week long.
