About Sauce au citron

Sauce Au Citron is a classic French lemon sauce known for its vibrant flavor and versatility in enhancing seafood, poultry, and vegetable dishes. Typically made from fresh lemon juice, butter, egg yolks, and cream, this velvety sauce delivers a balance of tanginess and richness. Its origins lie in French cuisine, where it is often paired with delicate dishes to provide a zesty complement. While the lemon juice offers a dose of vitamin C and antioxidants, the inclusion of butter and cream makes it high in saturated fats. For a lighter variation, some recipes substitute olive oil or reduce the amount of cream. Whether indulgent or modified, Sauce Au Citron is prized for its ability to brighten dishes with its citrusy depth, making it an iconic accompaniment in both traditional and modern cooking.
