Description

A delicious and simple baked salmon recipe infused with honey, lime, and garlic for a delightful meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 lime (juiced and zested)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a baking dish lightly and arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and a touch of lime zest.
  4. Drizzle the honey-lime garlic butter mixture over the salmon, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the honey-lime garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. Fresh salmon ensures the best flavor.
