Recipe Instructions

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.
Step 4
Gather the ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 lemons, juiced

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh savory
  • 0.5 teaspoon butter
