Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Salmon
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, honey, lime juice, and lime zest.
Evenly drizzle the mixture over the salmon fillets.
Step 4: Bake the Salmon
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.
Step 5: Serve
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and add a squeeze of lime.
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!
