I found that the term 漆塗り or simply 漆 is used to indicated the lacquer applied
to materials such as wood, but can I use the same term in a food context? I am
talking about that sort of 'glaze' you can find in recipes such as [this
one](https://debfabfood.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/lacquered-salmon/). Thank you
for your help!

translation words food jargon
How to say "lacquer" when talking about food?
I think the word you're looking for is 照り焼き. For example, here's a recipe for
鮭の照り焼き:

The most generic terms would be:

Noun: 艶{つや}、ツヤ

Noun: 艶/ツヤ出{だ}し ← act of creating/adding ツヤ

Verb: 艶/ツヤを出す

The words グレーズ and グレーズド are **not** nearly as common. In fact, many would not
even be familiar with them.
