Easy and Delicious Lime Butter Sauce

– Low Carb, Gluten Free, Sugar Free

August 17, 2014 By Lisa Kelso

It takes only a few minutes to make this amazing sauce!

This past week we had guests over for dinner and I had a beautiful piece of salmon to grill. One of the guests had a number of dietary restrictions, none of which worked with my usual, delicious, yogurt dill sauce. The only dairy allowed was butter. Luckily I found this fantastic lime butter sauce on Epicurious. It’s so easy and so good that I can’t resist sharing it with you.

I also discovered how versatile this sauce is. So far I’ve served it on grilled corn on the cob, steamed asparagus, roasted broccoli and beets. They’ve all tasted fantastic.

This is an excellent staple sauce and also a great sauce for beginner cooks since it’s so easy to make.
