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
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, and lime zest. Evenly drizzle this flavor-packed mixture over the salmon fillets.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. For a golden, crispy finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Once done, sprinkle the salmon with freshly chopped parsley and serve with a squeeze of lime. This dish is best enjoyed hot and pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the butter mixture. If you’re in a pinch, bottled lime juice works, but fresh lime zest adds an unbeatable freshness.
Make extra sauce for meal prep—it’s delicious on chicken or roasted veggies. Transform leftovers into a new meal by flaking the salmon over a salad or mixing it into pasta. Don’t skip the parsley garnish for a touch of elegance and color.
Enjoy this healthy, flavorful, and easy-to-make Honey Garlic Lime Salmon that’s sure to become a staple in your dinner rotation!
