Bright lime juice and zest meet freshly grated ginger and garlic in this quick-simmered glaze, with honey working in to build a glossy, clingy sheen as it reduces on the stove. A touch of toasted sesame oil rounds out the flavor with warmth and depth, while a pinch of red pepper flakes adds just enough heat if you want it. The whole thing comes together in one small saucepan and gets strained until silky-smooth, so it pours and coats like a proper glaze rather than a thin sauce. Brush it over grilled salmon, roasted vegetables, or seared chicken thighs for a sticky, tangy finish, or keep a jar on hand as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or dumplings. It's a great one to keep in a gluten free rotation, since it comes together fast and holds well in the fridge for whenever you need a quick flavor boost.

Combine the grated ginger, lime juice, lime zest, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small saucepan and whisk until the honey is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and a finger drawn through leaves a clear line, about 6–8 minutes.
