    • Dill Compound Butter
    • 💬 Comments

    When my garden is full of beautiful herbs one of my favorite things to make is compound butter. This recipe is for Dill Butter, which goes so well with tender salmon filets and all sorts of fish dishes. I'm also including a variation for making lemon dill compound butter.

    💭 Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this dill herb butter recipe.

    What is compound butter made of?

    Compound butter is salted or unsalted butter that is creamed with other savory or sweet ingredients such as herbs, honey, or even fruit.

    What is an example of compound butter?

    Here are a few of our most popular compound butter recipes:
    * Cowboy Butter - fabulous on steak, veggies, and even wings!
    * Maple Bacon Butter - perfect for pancakes or even just toast.
    * Garlic Chive Butter - delicious on garlic bread and baked potatoes.

    What do you wrap compound butter in?

    I prefer using parchment paper, but you can also use plastic wrap or waxed paper.

    For more information about compound butter, please visit see our Delicious Compound Butter Recipes and Tips.

    🧂 Ingredients

    You only need a few simple ingredients to make this delicious compound butter!

    • unsalted butter
    • fresh dill
    • kosher salt

    🔪Instructions

    1. In a small bowl, cream the butter, then add in the salt and dill.
    2. Lay out a piece of parchment paper. Using a spatula, scrape the butter mixture onto the parchment paper into the shape of a log.
    3. Roll the log up, twisting the ends tightly. Refrigerate until firm - about 1-2 hours.

    ⏲️ Storage

    To Store: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 1 week.

    To Freeze: Place the dill butter into a resealable freezer bag.

    To Thaw: Allow the butter to thaw in the fridge over night.

    ⭐ Tips

    ✔️ Check out how to make your own Butter Rosettes here.

    📖 Variations

    The next time you make it, you might consider one of these different ways of making this great recipe:

    • Lemon Dill Butter - add lemon juice and lemon zest to the butter: the zest and juice of one fresh lemon into the butter mixture with the chopped dill.
    • Garlic Dill Butter - add fresh or roasted garlic: mince 1-2 cloves of garlic and combine with the butter and dill.

    You can also add 1 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper if you like.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    When you're ready to serve, unroll the herbed butter log and slice into ½-inch thick pieces. Alternatively, use a melon baller to create butter balls.

    This dill flavored butter is totally amazing on seafood (especially salmon fillets!) but also mixed into creamy mashed potatoes, on top of steaks or pasta, and with all kinds of veggies.

    You can also use this delicious butter to make a fun butter board appetizer.

      Compound butters are so awesome to have on hand, and I love that you added dill to yours. It'll be perfect over fish or veggies or a potato, or heck... maybe I'll just pop it into my mouth and save some time 😉
