What is Mustard butter sauce?
Mustard butter sauce combines butter with mustard for a rich, savoury sauce with a noticeable tang. It is smooth when freshly made and can be served warm over fish, grilled meat, potatoes or vegetables. It is a versatile table sauce rather than a dish tied to one particular regional tradition, and the mustard’s sharpness helps balance the butter’s mellow richness.
Because it is especially rich, a small spoonful often adds plenty of flavour. Its nutritional profile is mostly fat, with 58.2 g of fat per 100 g and relatively little carbohydrate. Serve it alongside simply cooked vegetables or lean protein, or offer it on the side so diners can choose how much to use.
