How to Make Lime Cilantro Butter Shallot Butter

  1. In a medium bowl, soften 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter at room temperature.

  3. Add the lime zest, cilantro, and shallots to the softened butter.
  4. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well combined and evenly distributed.
  5. Line a small loaf pan (approximately 5x3 inches) with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  6. Pour the butter mixture into the prepared loaf pan, and gently press to form a compact log.
  7. Fold the plastic wrap over the butter log and twist the ends tightly to seal.
  8. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  9. Once frozen, slice into medallions and serve atop your favorite grilled, baked, or pan-seared fish.
