Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measuring tools: measuring cups, tablespoon, and a medium mixing bowl.
- In the mixing bowl, carefully measure and pour the honey, ensuring it slides smoothly into the container.
- Add the soy sauce to the honey, using a whisk to begin combining the liquids.
- Incorporate the Dijon mustard, stirring continuously to create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Drizzle the olive oil into the glaze, whisking thoroughly to emulsify all ingredients and create a consistent texture.
- Whisk the mixture for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are completely integrated and the glaze looks glossy and well-combined.
- For best results, let the glaze sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Use immediately as a basting sauce for roasted meats, poultry, or vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth, even mixing.
- Whisk with Purpose: Take the full 1-2 minutes to whisk, creating a perfectly emulsified glaze.
- Basting Technique: Apply the glaze in layers during the last 10-15 minutes of roasting for maximum caramelization.
- Storage Hack: If not using immediately, store in a glass jar in the refrigerator and gently warm before use.
- Versatility is Key: This glaze works brilliantly on chicken, pork, salmon, and even roasted vegetables!
