Creamy Honey Garlic Lemon Pepper Sauce Recipe
This versatile sauce combines the sweet and savory flavors of honey garlic sauce with the tanginess of lemon and the heat of black pepper. Plus, it's made creamy with the addition of heavy cream or sour cream.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream (or sour cream)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey garlic lemon pepper sauce mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and stir until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the creamy honey garlic lemon pepper sauce as a dipping sauce or a sauce for chicken, fish, or vegetables.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with cold water) to the sauce while it's heating up to help thicken it.
- Store the sauce in an air-tight container in the fridge for a few days.
