Description
A delicious honey lime salmon recipe that perfectly balances sweet and tangy flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets Salmon (Choose skin-on for extra flavor and moisture.)
- 1 pinch Salt (Enhances the natural taste of the salmon.)
- 1 pinch Black pepper (Freshly ground adds a nice kick.)
- 3 tablespoons Honey (Provides a sweet contrast that balances the zesty lime.)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (Freshly squeezed gives the best tang and brightness.)
- 3 cloves Garlic (Minced to infuse a rich, aromatic flavor.)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (Ensures control over the saltiness.)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (Adds a pop of color and freshness.)

- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared dish.
- Brush the honey lime garlic butter mixture generously over each fillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
