Scrape all the mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper then shape into a small log about 2 inches long. Refrigerate until firm. To serve, cut into ¼ inch sections and melt over hot fish or beef. Will keep several days if refrigerated. Makes about ¼ cup.....enough for 8 servings.
Serve over grilled fish or beef. Green color is particularly attractive on salmon.
