Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup (60ml) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons (10g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, allowing the wine to reduce slightly (about 1-2 minutes). This step deglazes the pan and adds depth of flavor.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice and capers. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for another minute.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in the fresh parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Drizzle the lemon butter caper sauce over your desired protein, vegetables, or pasta.
