Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Fillets Opt for skin-on for a crispy finish; skinless works great as well.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Honey Provides a naturally sweet flavor; maple syrup can be a nice vegan alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Brightens the dish with acidity; lemon juice makes for a great substitute.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic enhances the overall flavor; garlic powder is okay in a pinch.
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and moisture to the glaze; feel free to use vegan butter or olive oil.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for basic seasoning; adjust to your personal taste to enhance the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Essential for basic seasoning; adjust to your personal taste to enhance the flavors.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a mixing bowl, melt some butter and add honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well-blended.
  3. Place your salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Coat the tops of the fillets with the honey-lime garlic mixture.
  4. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, until it turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Optional: Switch your oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for a crispy finish, keeping a close eye on it.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven, let it rest for a minute, and serve warm, optionally with steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
