Step 1

Add the soft butter to a bowl along with the garlic, finely chopped parsley and salt.

Step 2

Mix well until everything is combined.

Step 3

Put the butter on a piece of plastic wrap and shape like a cylinder of about 2 inch diameter. Roll the plastic wrap around it and tighten, being careful to not leave any air bubbles in.

Step 4

Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes until it hardens.

Step 5

Slice and serve over steaks or any other grilled meats or vegetables.

Step 6

Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer.

Step 7

Using the whisk attachment, whip the butter on medium, then high speed for several minutes until the butter is pale in colour and extra creamy.

Step 8

Serve spread on bread, or however you like.

Step 9

Make the garlic butter as directed in a microwave-safe bowl.

Step 10

Melt the mixture in the microwave on 50% power just until melted. This could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 and a half minutes, depending on your microwave.

Step 11

Microwave in 30-second increments, whisking after every 30 seconds. Stop heating once the butter just reaches the melted stage and whisk well.

Step 12

Serve immediately drizzled over salmon, for dipping lobster tails or shrimp, or with your favourite pasta.
