Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup capers drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to turn a light golden brown color and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the capers, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for another minute or so, until the mixture is hot and bubbly.
  • Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool for a minute or two.
  • Spoon the caper sauce over your cooked fish, chicken, or vegetables and serve immediately. Enjoy!
