For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the sauce. Cook the butter over medium heat until it turns a nutty brown color before removing from heat and adding the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish brightens the flavors. If you don't have balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar can be used as a substitute. To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes in the butter sauce.
