Ingredients:
- 6 (6 oz / 170g) salmon fillets, skin-on
- 1 tsp (6g) kosher salt
- ½ tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp (15g) fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp (6g) lime zest
- 1 tbsp (21g) honey
- ¼ tsp (1.5g) garlic powder
Instructions:
- Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, grated ginger, lime juice, lime zest, honey, and garlic powder until the honey is fully integrated and the mixture looks glossy.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange fillets skin-side down. Brush half of the ginger-lime butter over the top of each fillet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes. During the last 3 minutes, brush the remaining butter sauce over the fillets to create a glaze. Remove when the internal temperature hits 135°F (57°C).
