This Sauce Makes Everything Taste Better

'Here’s a plan of action that works for dinner any night of the week: Melt some butter; bubble in some minced garlic, herbs, spices and a squirt of lemon; then pour it over whatever you have your heart set on eating. With almost no effort, you’ll have a sauce that makes anything taste better.

It works on chicken. It works on steak. It even works on all those beets and turnips you couldn’t quite figure out what to do with.'>>>

Very easy and versatile. I never know what to do with fish. I also bookmarked your braising post. I'm going to have to see what else you've posted.

I usually post things from NYTimes, so there's LOTS! I agree, today's 'sauce' sounds versatile. Will try to remember it's here, for when I see a nice fish filet!

That uses many of these items. Always delicious.

For 1 lb. Chicken breasts:

6 T butter, melted
Juice of one or two lemons
1 T dill weed
1 t granulated onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 t garlic salt
1/2 t lemon pepper

Reserve some for basting, if desired.

Score or butterfly as needed, marinate for at least 1 hour, then grill.

So good!

I love butter and will try this too. Is he dill weed in the recipe dried?
