Prepare the butter by letting 1/2 cup of unsalted butter soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Mince 2-3 fresh garlic cloves finely on a cutting board.

Chop a handful of fresh parsley or chives and measure about two tablespoons.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped herbs, and sea salt.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve immediately or store in parchment paper as a log shape for later use.
