Zest of 1 lime

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 for easy cleanup.

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

      Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Season each fillet generously with salt and pepper.

        Pour the honey-lime garlic butter mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is generously coated.

          Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your preference.

            Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

              Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
