Woooweee this sauce packs a punch! Granted, it’s full of all my favourite ingredients: creamy butter, tangy lemon, salty capers and the heat of garlic, so you can’t really go wrong. I used it last night on panfried codfish and roasted cabbage, but it would be just as good on chicken, steak, grilled vegetables, soaked up by bread, you name it! And the best thing is, the recipe could’t be easier!
