# How to make it:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
04 - Spoon or brush the honey-lime garlic butter mixture generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
05 - Top each fillet with a couple of lime slices.
06 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. Internal temperature should reach 145°F.
07 - Remove from the oven. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.
