Recipe
I won’t leave you with a grumbling tummy while I ramble on about how succulent and satisfying this dish is. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
Time: 40 minutes (5 minutes prep; 30-35 cook time)
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
3lbs of salmon
8 cloves of garlic pressed or finely chopped
1 cup of honey
1/4 cup of soy sauce
Zest and juice from 2 limes
Melty Sauce:
4 Tablespoons soften butter
2 tsp honey
1 tsp lime zest
dash of salt
Garnish:
lime cut into wedges
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Whisk together lime juice, honey, garlic, soy sauce, and zest in a large, oven-safe casserole.
Place Salmon flesh side down, into sauce while rubbing and coating surface with sauce.
Cover and refrigerate for half and hour; flip salmon halfway through leaving skin side down.
Place dish uncovered and cook for 30 minutes or until flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature 145 degrees)
While your salmon cooks, mix together the soften butter, Teaspoon of lime zest, salt, and Tablespoon of honey into a spoonable consistency. When Salmon is done, dollop a pat of the butter on top your salmon. Garnish with a lime wedge.
We’re in a rut with our sides as we always opt for potatoes either roasted or mashed and asparagus, but green beans or broccoli would probably be a good accompaniment as well.
We hope you give this recipe a try and that you enjoy it as much as we do and just in case you didn’t notice, this is a one dish wonder! It doesn’t get any simpler than that!
To happy tummies!
