Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon lime zest

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

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

      Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.

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

          Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your liking.

            Remove the salmon from the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

              Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
