Radishes With Nori-Lemon Butter

Nothing gives off swanky Norwegian restaurant vibes more than a minimalist platter of seaweed butter and radishes. No one needs to know how ridiculously easy it actually is to make. There are very few ingredients here, so spring for some top-notch cultured or European-style butter (and in true restaurant fashion, make sure to tell everyone about it multiple times). We recommend using roasted and seasoned seaweed here (which is different from the sheets used for sushi) as it adds more flavor. A mix of radishes—regular, breakfast, watermelon—keeps things lively.
