For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a shallot to the skillet along with the butter. If using fresh broccoli, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly, depending on the size and density of the florets. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving will brighten the flavors even more. This sauce also pairs beautifully with other vegetables like asparagus, green beans, or Brussels sprouts.
