Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for effortless cleanup.
- Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and black pepper on both sides, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest to create your aromatic sauce.
- Evenly drizzle the honey-lime garlic butter sauce over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If you desire a slightly more golden top, you can broil for the final 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side.
