After eating this, I’m never having salmon any other way!

 

Honey Lime Garlic Salmon

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

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon

1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, honey, lime juice, and lime zest.
2. Evenly drizzle the mixture over the salmon fillets.

Step 4: Bake the Salmon

1. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
2. For a golden finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Step 5: Serve

1. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and add a squeeze of lime.
2. 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!
