Ingredients

• 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 teaspoons Fresh lime zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes prior to starting to allow it to soften at room temperature.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, add the softened butter, lime zest, lime juice, and salt.

Step 3

If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add the optional honey at this stage.

Step 4

Using a fork or a silicone spatula, mash and stir the ingredients together until they are fully combined and smooth. Ensure the lime zest and juice are evenly incorporated throughout the butter.

Step 5

Taste the butter and adjust for seasoning, adding an additional pinch of salt or a touch more lime juice if necessary.

Step 6

Transfer the lime butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends of the paper to secure.

Step 7

Refrigerate the lime butter for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Alternatively, you can use it immediately if you prefer a softer consistency.

Step 8

Serve on warm bread, grilled seafood, or roasted vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
