Brown Butter Sauce with Lemon Beurre Meunière Recipe

  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
  1. Cut butter into pieces and in a small heavy skillet melt over moderately low heat. Simmer butter until golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and immediately add lemon juice, salt, parsley, and pepper to taste, swirling skillet to incorporate (butter will foam).
  2. Serve sauce immediately.
