Norwegian Butter Sauce, or Sandefjordsmor, if you are a local, is a tasty, rich condiment, made from butter, cream, lemon, fresh herbs and a touch of cayenne pepper. It works well with most fish, but is also delicious with chicken or steak, if you are looking for something a little different.
Collect together your equipment (see Recipe Notes below) and ingredients.
Juice the lemons directly into a sauce pan and reduce over a moderate heat until you have around 1 tablespoon. Keep a close eye on it, as it can reduce quickly and burn, very easily.
Next pour in the cream, heat and reduce until the cream and lemon juice cover the back of a spoon.utes.Add salt and pepper to taste and fold in the chopped herbs.
Whisk in the butter, 2 or 3 cubes at a time, ensuring the butter has melted into the sauce, before adding any more.
Continue until all the butter has emulsified into the cream. This will take around 8 – 10 minutes.
Add cayenne, salt and pepper to taste and fold in the chopped herbs.
Delicious with most fish, but is also delicious with chicken or steak, if you are looking for something a little different.
