Meyer Lemon Butter

1 stick Salted Sweet Cream Butter
Juice of 1/2 Meyer Lemon
1/2 tsp Dried Basil or to taste

Melt butter over low heat, add basil and lemon juice. Stir well. Serve warm over fish.

This is super easy, and looks fancier for company that just dumping melted butter over fish. IF you don't know what a Meyer Lemon is, it's a cross between a Mandarin Orange and a Lemon, so it has a really good lemon flavor, but it's much sweeter. You've probably seen them at the store without even realizing it, they look almost like a regular lemon, but the peel is slightly smoother with a bit darker color.

Using the Meyer Lemon instead of a regular lemon gives this a much milder, less astringent taste than some lemon butters that I've had with makes it perfect for very mild fish, like Swai (which itself is somewhat sweet).
