Name: Soy-Mustard Glaze
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Makes about 1/2 cup
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons light brown sugar; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 tablespoons mirin (see note); 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar; 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard; 1 tablespoon water; 1 teaspoon cornstarch; 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Why This Recipe Works

Our soy-mustard glaze complemented the fatty salmon and stuck to the fish thanks to a little cornstarch, which we sprinkled, along with brown sugar and salt, onto the exterior of our glazed salmon.

Before You Begin

Mirin, a sweet Japanese rice wine, can be found in Japanese markets and the international section of most supermarkets.

Instructions

Whisk ingredients together in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat; simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
