"A dill compound butter is an easy way to elevate any meal, especially one you're serving at a dinner party or family gathering. It's so delicious melted onto some steak or grilled fish, added to a bowl of hearty soup, or even simply slathered on some bread. It's also amazing on a bagel with smoked salmon, if you want to go for a classic pairing."
"You can make all kinds of different compound butters, but fresh herbs are always a great addition, and dill works particularly well because it's so fragrant that it stands up to the richness of the butter. Its grassy, lemony notes pair incredibly well with butter, especially with a little added salt and pepper. You can cut up some fresh dill and mix it by hand with some softened butter, or you can whip everything together in a food processor."
Fresh herbs often go unused because they can be fussy and short-lived, yet tiny amounts add significant flavor and sophistication. Dill delivers a potent, sometimes polarizing taste that can transform dishes for those who enjoy it. Typical pairings include smoked salmon, cream cheese, and pickles, but dill also enhances compound butters, soups, and many other preparations. A dill compound butter combines softened butter with chopped dill, salt, and pepper, then can be mixed by hand or in a food processor and refrigerated to brighten steaks, fish, bread, bagels, and hearty soups.
