Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
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.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is on. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
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.
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).
During the last 2-3 minutes of baking, brush the reserved glaze over the fillets for an extra boost of flavor.
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.
Serve the Honey N Lime Glazed Salmon immediately with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
