Salsa al limone per ricetta di pesce

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients

1. Mince the Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves finely.
2. Zest and Juice the Lemon: Zest the lemon to get about 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, then juice the lemon to get about 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
3. Prepare the Capers: If using capers, drain and rinse them.

Step 2: Making the Lemon Sauce

1. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
2. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth or fish stock and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
4. Add the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and bring back to a simmer. Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
5. Add the Lemon: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest. If using, add the capers at this point. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Simmer: Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 3: Finishing Touches

1. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice if you prefer a tangier flavor.
2. Garnish: Once the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley.
