Seared Corn on the Cob with Herb Butter Sauce Recipe

Method:

1. Prepare the Herb Butter:
   • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives, dill, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Set aside the herb butter, allowing the flavors to meld together while you prepare the corn.
2. Seared Corn:
   • Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If you prefer to use an outdoor grill, preheat it to medium-high.
   • Brush the ears of corn with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
   • Place the corn in the skillet or on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has a nice char on all sides.
   • The goal is to get a good sear on the corn while keeping the kernels juicy and slightly caramelized.
3. Finishing Touches:
   • Once the corn is seared to your liking, remove it from the heat.
   • Generously brush the hot corn with the prepared herb butter sauce. The heat from the corn will melt the butter, allowing it to seep into the kernels and enhance the flavors.
   • For an extra burst of freshness, sprinkle some additional chopped herbs over the top.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the seared corn on a platter, and enjoy it as a delightful side dish or even as a main course for a light summer meal.
