A compound butter is a wonderful way of infusing flavor into a dish with little effort. This one includes fresh dill and lemon zest, which makes it excellent for melting over meaty white fish or fatty rib-eye. You could even toss it with hot cooked gluten-free pasta and seared scallops or shrimp for an easy, yet delicious, weeknight meal.
