This vibrant citrus sauce is a game-changer for simple fish dishes, offering a perfect harmony of sweet, sour, and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, lime juice, soy sauce, and the orange marmalade.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the marmalade has completely dissolved.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and the remaining 1/4 cup of water until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the boiling sauce while stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
  5. Continue to cook and stir the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it thickens to a glossy consistency.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the finely grated lemon rind.
  7. Let the sauce stand for a few minutes to cool slightly before serving over cooked fish.
