Instructions

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt gently, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
• Once the butter is melted, add the grated garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant—be careful not to let it brown.
• Sprinkle in the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. This is where the magic happens, as the lemon brightens up the sauce.
• Give your sauce a taste. If you’d like more acidity, add a bit more lemon juice. For those who enjoy spice, now is the time to add the red pepper flakes.
• Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or drizzle it directly over your prepared dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
