Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey

Zest and juice of 2 limes

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

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 sheet with parchment paper or lightly greased aluminum foil.

    In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

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

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

          Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

            Broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes for a caramelized top, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.

              Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

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