Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lime zest

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and lime zest until well combined.

      Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.

        Brush the honey-lime garlic butter mixture generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.

          Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

            Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

              Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
