For easy spring dinners, add frozen seasoned butter to chicken, fish, or seafood. To prepare, let 1 pound of salted butter come to room temperature. Mix in 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic, the juice of 1 lemon, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Place the butter on a piece of plastic wrap. Roll it into a log 1 1/2 inches in diameter and freeze. To use, add a 1/4-inch slice for each serving of protein in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Serve immediately. Freeze the wrapped butter for up to 3 months.
