Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons 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 easy cleanup.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons melted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons honey, juice and zest of 1 lime until well combined.
  • Drizzle the honey lime garlic butter sauce evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. For a golden top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot, with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy burst.

Notes

This quick and flavorful baked salmon is perfect for weeknights. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to suit your taste.
