Chipotle-Garlic Butter with Lime and Cilantro

Um, you had me at "hello?"

Cook's has this recipe in their March & April 2002 issue. I put it on top of pan-roasted halibut steaks. But, I bet it would be equally yummy on top of steak or something else equally decadent that doesn't need more calories but rejoices when you dollop it on top..... Sigh.

1/2 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1 chipotle chile en adobo, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp honey
1 tsp grated lime zest
2 tsps minced fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp salt

Beat butter with a fork until fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients. Dollop a TBS of butter on top of cooked fish. YUM. (The recipe easily halves if you live with a butter phobic person like I do.)
