Honey-Lime Garlic Butter Baked Salmon Flavorful Dish

Ingredients

• 4 fillets salmon (about 6 ounces each)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 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
• for serving lime wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, lime zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the honey-lime garlic butter mixture generously over the top of the fillets.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
5. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
6. For serving, drizzle any leftover sauce from the baking sheet over the salmon fillets and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor.
