¼ tsp black pepper

For the glaze

¼ cup packed light brown sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dijon mustard
¼ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler to high. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray.
2
Combine the brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside — the glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.
