Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh mandarin oranges, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp fresh mandarin zest
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh mandarin juice
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Slice peeled mandarins into uniform 1/4 inch rounds and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Melt unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until foaming.
  3. Stir in honey, mandarin juice, and salt; simmer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture bubbles and thickens.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and carefully lay mandarin slices into the glaze.
  5. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side without moving them, until edges turn deep golden mahogany.
  6. Gently toss the fruit to coat in the remaining velvety glaze before serving.
