Preparation
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Salmon
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, honey, lime juice, and lime zest.
- Evenly drizzle the mixture over the salmon fillets.
Step 4: Bake the Salmon
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
- For a golden finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Step 5: Serve
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and add a squeeze of lime.
- Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
Variations & Tips
- For a spicy twist, include red pepper flakes or a touch of sriracha in the butter mix.
- Bottled lime juice can substitute for fresh in a pinch, though fresh lime offers unmatched zest.
- Make extra sauce for an easy meal prep solution—it’s delicious on chicken or roasted vegetables.
- Transform leftovers into a new meal by flaking the salmon over a salad or mixing it into pasta.
- Don’t forget the parsley garnish for a touch of elegance and a pop of color.
Enjoy!
