Lacquered Flounder

Cane vinegar is made from sugar cane syrup. Look for Steen's vinegar, made in Louisiana, or substitute Champagne vinegar. Turbinado sugar gives the glaze a golden color and imparts a hint of molasses to the flavor. Substitute granulated sugar, if necessary. Pan-sear satsuma halves for an elegant garnish; for more ways to use satsumas, see our In Season column.
