Ingredients
Scale
For the Creamy Lemon Butter Sauce:
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 garlic clove (smashed)
- 1 cup cream
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 4 tbsp cold butter
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Pour the white wine into a saucepan and add a smashed garlic clove. Set the pan over medium heat then bring to a simmer and allow the liquid to reduce by half, approximately 10 minutes.
- Whisk in the cream and allow to simmer, whisking regularly, until the cream has reduced and coats the back of a spoon easily.
- Stir in the lemon juice and cook, whisking regularly, for another 1-2 minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat then whisk in the cold butter, one cube at a time, until the butter is emulsified into the sauce. By adding the butter off of the heat, the butter won’t melt quickly and cause the sauce to split.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper then serve.
