This maître d'hôtel butter sauce recipe is a hot version of classic maître d'hôtel butter. This herbed butter sauce, kicked up with just a bit of fresh lemon juice, makes a bright accompaniment to mildly flavored fish. Though it is not traditionally served with poultry, this flavored butter sauce adds a scrumptiously rich complexity to roasted chicken and whipped potatoes. Here's to being unconventional in the kitchen.
This flavored butter sauce recipe makes 1/2 cup sauce, approximately 4 to 6 servings.
