Ingredients

• 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and lime zest to create the glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is on. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 4

Brush a generous amount of the honey-lime glaze over each salmon fillet, making sure the tops and sides are evenly coated. Reserve a few spoonfuls of the glaze for later.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

During the last 2-3 minutes of baking, brush the reserved glaze over the fillets for an extra boost of flavor.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top if desired for a burst of color and added freshness.

Step 8

Serve the Honey N Lime Glazed Salmon immediately with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
