For the Glaze

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your baking dish.
  2. Place your salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish, leaving space between them.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until melted and fragrant.
  4. Pour the honey-lime garlic butter mixture over the salmon fillets, making sure each piece is covered.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Switch to broil for the last minute to caramelize the glaze, keeping a close watch.
  7. Let rest before serving with lime wedges and your favorite sides.
