    From the Test Kitchen

    A simple combination of soy glaze, tangy vinegar, and butter creates a sumptuous, flavorful glaze for pan-seared chicken, which we’re first coating in flour to create a delightfully crispy exterior. Verdant snow peas and tender mushrooms—sautéed with red pepper flakes and savory sesame oil—lend just a touch of heat to the finished dish.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Roughly chop the mushrooms. Halve the snow peas crosswise (removing the tough strings, if desired). In a bowl, combine the soy glaze and vinegar.

    Cook the rice
    2 Cook the rice

    Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

    Cook the vegetables
    3 Cook the vegetables

    Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped mushrooms in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the halved peas and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

    Cook the fish & glaze
    4 Cook the fish & glaze

    Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides (you'll omit the flour for salmon). - In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side down. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to two serving dishes. Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) to the pan of reserved fond. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any fond, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat. Stir in the butter until melted and combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
