Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh lime slices and herbs for garnish (like cilantro or parsley)


Instructions

Creating Honey-Lime Garlic Butter Baked Salmon is a simple process. Just follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.

3. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined.

4. Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Season them with salt and pepper according to taste.

5. Pour the Sauce: Drizzle the honey-lime garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each one is generously coated.

6. Add Lime Slices: Lay fresh lime slices on top of the salmon for added flavor and visual appeal.

7. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

8. Rest and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

By following these simple instructions, you’ll achieve perfectly baked salmon that is both flavorful and healthy!
