PREPARATION:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for an easy cleanup.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, honey, lime juice, and zest.
Evenly drizzle the mixture over the salmon fillets.
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.
Sprinkle with parsley, add a squeeze of lime, and serve hot.
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 !
