How to Make Apricot Mustard Sauce For Fish Asia

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apricot preserves, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For a more intense flavor, chill for up to 4 hours.
  3. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, or red pepper flakes for heat.
  4. Use the sauce to baste four 8-ounce salmon fillets during the last few minutes of baking. Alternatively, serve it alongside baked, grilled, or pan-fried fish as a delicious dipping sauce or glaze.
  5. This sauce also makes a fantastic sweet and spicy dip for shrimp, scallops, or other seafood appetizers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
