This is a sweet sauce that goes well with salmon, pork chops, chicken, and probably shrimp, too! The crushed red pepper adds some sweet heat.

Ingredients

¼ cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or more to taste
3 tablespoons bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Melt butter in a stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns a golden brown color, 5 to 7 minutes. Butter will foam and then settle down.
Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in crushed red pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in maple syrup and lemon juice until combined.

Cook's Notes:

I use Crown Maple(R) syrup.

I used this sauce on 1 pound of king salmon and it was outstanding, but it was too much sauce for that amount of meat. I recommend using it with 1 1/2 to 2 pounds fish or meat.

To use, spoon sauce over cooked fish or meat in a warm skillet just until fish or meat are warmed, about 2 to 3 minutes.
