Saffron-Citrus Marinade

This crystalline liquid glows gold and has a subtle aroma of citrus blossoms. Reserve this marinade for delicate meats, and especially for seafood. If you don’t want to spring for the cost of saffron, we’d suggest you move on to another marinade. Someone might say that you can substitute turmeric and get the same effect, but the flavor is completely different, the clarity will be lost, and the turmeric’s yellow is closer to mustard than gold.
