How to Make Citrus Butter Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 2 finely minced shallots and sauté for 1 minute until softened.
- Pour in 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and 1/4 cup dry white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until each addition is fully incorporated and the sauce is emulsified. Do not let the sauce boil.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Remove from heat and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Serve immediately over your favorite grilled chicken or seafood.
- Enjoy!
