Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter at room temperature
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 large garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Equipment
- measuring cups
Method
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquid and foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the honey and soy sauce, then whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and black pepper until fully incorporated.
- Use immediately as a glaze for meats or vegetables, or let cool slightly before serving.
