HOW TO COOK SALMON
Whether you love lemon garlic or honey lemon, or all of those flavours combined on your seafood, I can guarantee you will love lime (Chili Lime Salmon anyone?). It’s slightly sweeter and less acidic than lemon, which requires more of it added to the fish compared to lemon juice (to balance out the sweetness of the honey), while also adding LESS honey to compliment that lime juice. Also, the addition of garlic butter cuts through and enhances the flavours in the entire fillet. You will love this one!

Honey Lime Garlic Butter Salmon
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 large cloves garlic , crushed
- 2 limes , juiced
- 2 1/2 pound (1.2 kg) side of salmon
- Sea salt , to taste
- Cracked pepper , to taste (optional)
- Lime slices (to serve)
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley , divided
Instructions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F | 190°C. Line a baking sheet with a large piece of foil, or 2 long pieces of foil over lapping each other lengthways if your salmon is wide.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the honey, garlic and lime juice, and whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is well combined.
- Place the salmon onto lined baking sheet. Evenly pour the honey-lime mixture over the salmon. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt (about 2 teaspoons), cracked pepper, and 2 tablespoons of parsley. Fold the sides of the foil up beside the salmon to keep the sauce under the fillet.
- Bake until cooked through (about 15-18 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish and your preference of doneness). Then, change oven setting to broil (or grill) for 2-3 minutes on medium heat to caramelise the top. Garnish with remaining parsley and serve immediately with fresh lime slices.
