Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey

2 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) and line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

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

      Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.

        Generously brush the honey-lime garlic butter mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

          Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

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

                Serve the baked salmon garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley and lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
