ANCHOVY BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce -- Now, I like to use the same pan I cook the seafood or chicken in, but you can just make it in a small sauce pan if you want. Either works very well.
• In the pan, heat to medium high heat and melt the butter. Then stir in the anchovies and mash with a fork as they cook. You only need to cook them just a couple of minutes. Then stir in the wine, garlic, capers, pepper and 1 lemon slice and squeeze slightly. Just cook another 2-3 minutes and remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley and remove the lemon slice.
• Serve -- Just garnish your dish with one of the lemon slices and pour the butter sauce over your dish. A little pinch of paprika gives it nice color and a little spice to the sauce.
