Baked Honey Lime Garlic Butter Salmon
This Baked Honey Lime Garlic Butter Salmon is Fresh, Delicious, and Healthy!
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Zest of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges optional garnish
Instructions
- Turn on your oven to preheat at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place foil or parchment paper on a baking sheet; it helps preserve juices, keep the fish tender, and simplifies the cleaning afterward.
- Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt and pepper then gently place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Combine the melted butter, honey, minced garlic; in addition to lime juice and lime zest in a small bowl.
- Evenly coat each salmon fillet with the honey lime garlic butter mixture.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until tender and flaky (test with a fork). If you prefer to have a crispier and more golden top, broil for the final 2 to 3 minutes (be careful not to burn).
- Get the pan out of the oven, finish with chopped parsley for a burst for a burst of color and flavor. Place couple lime wedges for garnish and enjoy immediately!
