Irresistible Honey Garlic Lime Salmon
If you’ve never tried salmon this way, get ready for a game-changer! This honey garlic lime salmon is buttery, flavorful, and absolutely mouthwatering. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or a special meal, this dish is packed with zesty lime, sweet honey, and savory garlic goodness.
Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lime juice
Zest of 1 lime
2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, honey, lime juice, and zest.
Drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork. For a golden, slightly caramelized finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
Garnish with parsley, squeeze some fresh lime over the top, and serve hot!
Variations & Pro Tips:
Want a spicy kick? Add red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the butter mix.
No fresh lime? Bottled lime juice works in a pinch, but fresh lime gives the best flavor.
Double the sauce! It’s fantastic on grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or even shrimp.
Leftover magic: Flake the salmon over a salad or toss it into a creamy pasta for a whole new meal!
This honey garlic lime salmon is an easy, flavorful dinner that’s restaurant-quality but made right at home! Serve it with steamed veggies, rice, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
