This is the compound butter I made for the "Your Best Swordfish" contest. It is inspired by the ingredients in Creole-style meuniere sauce. I have used it on other types of fish, grilled shrimp, and roast chicken. It's very versatile--feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
