Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets Fresh and high-quality for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons honey Sweet and golden
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice Freshly squeezed for aromatic zing
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter Silky and rich
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Aromatic and robust
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme Earthy and herbaceous
  • Salt and pepper to taste For extra flavor
  • Lime wedges for garnish For a vibrant touch
  • Fresh parsley for garnish To add a pop of color

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine honey, lime juice, melted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets on it.
  4. Generously pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Garnish with lime wedges and chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate salmon in the mixture for 30 minutes prior to baking. For a crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Use fresh herbs for added flavor.
