herb butter
Infused dairy condiment
Herb butter is butter mixed with chopped fresh herbs—parsley, chives, tarragon, dill, or others.
It's typically shaped into a log, chilled, and sliced to melt over grilled steaks, fish, or vegetables: a pat of herb butter on the salmon.
Also called compound butter when made with any flavoring, not just herbs.
