Notes
- Avoid over-melting the butter. If you microwave the butter longer than necessary, it can begin to brown the butter. The butter will still be usable, but it will have a darker color and a nuttier flavor and aroma.
- Use fresh garlic. This is important, so I wanted to reiterate it. Garlic powder and garlic granules should be saved for recipes like Air Fried Butternut Squash and Salmon Patties in the Air Fryer.
- Use high-quality butter for the best results and flavor. I recommend grass-fed and/or European butter.
- Adjust the amount of spices and salt to your taste.
- If you have leftovers, let the sauce come to room temperature and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Reheat in the microwave until melted.
