Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • ½ teaspoon butter
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh savory

Directions

Step 1
Crush capers in a small bowl with the back of a spoon.

Step 2
Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams and is golden; saute capers until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add lemon juice, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced by one-third, 1 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 3
Stir cold butter and savory into lemon mixture, stirring constantly until butter is completely melted and sauce is shiny and thick, about 1 minute.
