Ingredients

2 tbsp salted butter

1 clove garlic - minced

1 tsp Herbs de Provence

1 lemon - zested and juiced

2 cups heavy cream

1/2 tsp sea salt - or to taste

1/4 tsp black pepper - or to taste

Directions

Start by zesting the lemon, juice it and set both aside.

Heat a 10" skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the butter, and when it melts, add the garlic.

Cook the garlic until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the Herbs de Provence, crumbling it between your fingers as you add it to the pan to release flavor.

Then add the reserved lemon zest and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 8 minutes.

Season the sauce to taste with sea salt and pepper. Then whisk in the reserved lemon juice to taste, we like 2-3 tablespoons.

Serve immediately.
