Drizzle this simple butter sauce over gnocchi, mushrooms, steak, or fish.

Instructions

Melt unsalted butter in a small, heavy-bottomed, traditional (not nonstick) skillet over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, swirling constantly, until butter is dark golden brown and has nutty aroma, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand 1 1/2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste; swirl to combine. Let milk solids settle to bottom of pan, about 10 seconds. Drizzle over dish, leaving as many solids behind as possible.
