Method
 

How to Make Irresistible Zesty Lime Glazed Salmon
  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.
  3. Marinate Salmon: Place your salmon fillets in a shallow dish, pouring half of the lime marinade over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Sear Salmon: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 3 minutes.
  5. Bake Salmon: Carefully transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake the salmon for around 10 minutes.
  6. Finish: Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salmon and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
