A delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors, this honey-lime garlic butter baked salmon is perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 170 grams each)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 57 grams)
  • 1/3 cup honey (about 113 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice (about 45 ml)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lime slices for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare a baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic.
  4. Place salmon fillets in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  5. Generously season each fillet with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon the honey-lime garlic mixture over each salmon fillet, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Transfer the baking dish to your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork and has a glossy finish.
