Equipment

  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large salmon fillet (see note)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup butter melted (see note)
  • 2 limes juice plus one lime, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ⅓ cup cilantro roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line and grease a large baking sheet with foil. Lay salmon on foil and season with salt and pepper on both sides to taste. Slip lime slices underneath the salmon.
  • Stir together butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic. Pour mixture over salmon. Fold sides of foil up over the salmon (don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the salmon completely).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes. Switch oven to broil and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

Notes

Don’t stress about the size of your salmon fillet. This recipe is very forgiving and works for one very large salmon, a couple of medium-sized fillets, or even several small individual fillets. For an even lighter version, reduce butter to 4 tablespoons instead of a half cup.
