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
Directions
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze. This also helps to prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan.
Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear and to help the seasonings stick. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper to taste. This simple seasoning step is crucial for enhancing the natural flavor of the salmon.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined. The melted butter serves as the base for the sauce, while the honey adds sweetness and the lime juice and zest provide tanginess. The garlic infuses the sauce with its aromatic flavor.
Add Flavor: Drizzle the honey lime garlic butter mixture evenly over each salmon fillet. Make sure to coat each fillet thoroughly, so the flavors are distributed evenly during baking.
