parsley butter

Green-flecked compound butter

Parsley butter is butter mixed with chopped parsley and often garlic or lemon, used as a finishing sauce for grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.

It's typically prepared as a compound butter—softened, blended with seasonings, then chilled and sliced into rounds that melt over hot food: a pat of parsley butter on the steak.
