I added a bit (maybe about 1/2 TBSP) of brown sugar to the sauce after I added the orange rind. It made the meal much more flavorful. My husband loved it. It's easy enough for him to make by himself!

While the snapper grills over thyme-scented smoke, stir up the three-ingredient sauce in a small skillet. Browning the almonds in butter makes them taste extra nutty.
