Instructions
Creating Honey-Lime Garlic Butter Baked Salmon is quite simple if you follow these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until combined.
3. Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side-down in the prepared baking dish.
4. Pour Sauce: Drizzle the honey-lime garlic butter mixture generously over each salmon fillet.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
6. Broil (optional): For an extra caramelized top, switch the oven to broil during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with lime slices and fresh parsley, if desired.
8. Serve: Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
These simple steps ensure anyone can make this incredible dish effortlessly.
