Ingredients
- 8 tbsp Unsalted butter, room temperature (1 stick)
- 2 tsp Chopped dill, packed
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the butter mixture: Beat the softened unsalted butter together with chopped dill, kosher salt, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or mix thoroughly by hand in a medium bowl with a spoon until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Form and chill the butter log: Scoop the mixed butter onto a piece of parchment paper, then roll it tightly into a log shape. Wrap the parchment paper securely around the butter log and refrigerate until firm. Once chilled, slice the butter into rounds for serving or use.

- Fresh dill works best for a bright and fresh herb flavor; adjust quantity to taste.
- The lemon zest and juice add brightness and a subtle tang, balancing the richness of the butter.
- Store leftover dill butter wrapped tightly in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- This dill butter is delicious melted over grilled fish, steamed vegetables, or spread on warm bread.
