Ingredients

  • 4 fillets salmon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, lime zest, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Brush the honey-lime garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the salmon fillets. Reserve a little mixture for drizzling after baking.
  5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle the reserved honey-lime sauce over the top for extra flavor.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
