Less than 10 minutes to make, this Garlic Butter Sauce is perfect for just about anything you can think of! It's wonderful tossed together with freshly cooked pasta or served with your next steak, seafood, or Grilled Veggies. I also serve this tossed together with my Grilled Potatoes all summer long. The possible ways to serve this easy and tasty sauce are endless and I know you'll love it too.

Instructions
Start by mincing up the chives and parsley, then set them aside. You can use just parsley if you don't have chives on hand to simplify.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Next, add the garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute over low heat. You want the low heat to take the edge off the raw garlic, but not to brown it.
Turn the burner off and whisk in the chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, and then season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
Serve with your favorite protein, starch, and veggies. This sauce separates as it sits, simply whisk it back together.

Notes
You can also use a dry white wine in place of the fresh lemon juice. I like to use white wine occasionally as a 'fancy' garlic butter sauce that has a restaurant-like flavor. The lemon juice has a fresher flavor that's extra nice for the warmer months.
