You know that moment when you taste your cooking and think “hmm…it’s missing something…”. I usually say “Add Salt!” And it usually does the trick. That’s until I discovered the true missing ingredient in life.

Compound butter.

I originally created this tangy, savory butter to top/perfect my Seared Salmon over Provençal Lentils. But you’ll soon see it’s meant for everything from broccoli to rice, chicken to pork.

Ingredients:

8 Tbs (1 stick) Salted Butter, softened at room temperature
1 Tbs Whole Dijon Mustard
2 tsp dried Tarragon
1 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
2 tsp lemon juice

Preparation:

Mix ingredients until well-combined. Transfer to tuperwear with lid.

Put that stuff on EVERYTHING!!!

Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.
