Salty capers combine with lemon and herbs to add bite to this quick, rich sauce. Watch the butter closely as it browns; it can burn quickly.—Soo Kim
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
2 tbsp drained capers
2 tbsp chopped chives or parsley
2 tbsp lemon juice
Pinch kosher salt
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium, stirring often, and cook until dark amber with a nutty aroma, 6 min.
Transfer to a serving bowl and let cool before stirring in capers, chives, lemon juice and salt. Serve warm.
