For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. If you prefer a tangier sauce, increase the amount of lemon juice to taste. Ensure the butter is cold to help create a richer and more emulsified sauce. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
