Bright lime juice and zest meet fresh grated ginger and garlic in this glossy glaze, simmered down with honey until it turns thick and clingy. A touch of toasted sesame oil rounds out the flavor with a nutty depth, while a pinch of red pepper flakes adds warmth if you like a little heat. Straining the mixture at the end gives you a silky, pourable finish that's perfect for brushing over grilled chicken, salmon, or roasted vegetables. It comes together in one small saucepan in under ten minutes, making it an easy way to dress up a weeknight dinner. This one is a solid choice for a peanut free kitchen, no nuts anywhere near the pan.

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.
