ORANGE-MISO GLAZE

Makes about 1/2 cup. Published January 1, 2011. From Cook's Illustrated.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
Our fruity, sweet 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 the glazed salmon.




Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup juice plus 1 teaspoon finely grated zest from 2 oranges
  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
  • pinch cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

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.
