• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for approximately 30-60 seconds, until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn, reduce the heat to low if needed.
• Add the remaining butter to the pan. Stir well to combine. Once the butter has melted, add the lemon juice, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
• Remove pan from heat and stir in the minced parsley.
