Fast Honey Garlic Glaze (Marinade)
This glaze is a "magic" sauce—sticky, sweet, and savoury. It works beautifully on salmon, chicken thighs, or pork chops. Serves 4 portions
Ingredients
Method
- Whisk: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinade (Optional): If using as a marinade, pour half the mixture over your raw protein and let it sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. Reserve the other half for glazing.
- Simmer: Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Glaze: Brush the thickened sauce onto your protein during the final 3–5 minutes of baking, grilling, or pan-searing.
- Serve: Drizzle any remaining warm sauce over the finished dish. Garnish with spring onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Optional: Add a sprinkle sesame seeds
Rule: Because of the high sugar content in honey, don’t apply this at the start of high-heat grilling or it will char. Save it for the final stage of cooking.

Tried this recipe yesterday on my pork chops: delicious combination 👌
This sounds absolutely amazing! I’m going to adapt slightly using less garlic and adding in orange zest for my next roast gammon yum!
