Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about one or two minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter if cooked for too long.

Add the chopped parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good stir to make sure all the ingredients are well combined.
