Honey Butter Baked Salmon

Kurt Hammerschmidt, Thailand.

This sounds incredibly good and comes from a good friend here in Thailand. Common ingredients easily available. This is written for using a half of a salmon fillet, about 1.2 kilos or about 2 1/2 pounds. You can certainly use the smaller fillets (individual portions from Tesco), just use the Serving box under the Ingredients list to change to the desired servings you would like and the ingredients will be recalculated for you.

Ingredients

1 salmon fillet, about 1.2 kilos, (2½ lbs)
¼ cup butter, melted
⅓ cup honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
sea salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
lemon or lime, slices
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 190° C (375° F), position the rack in the middle of the oven. Line a large baking sheet or baking pan (9x13) with foil large enough to fold over the fillet and seal.
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan, then add the honey, garlic, and lemon/lime juice and whisk to combine.
Place the fillet (or the smaller individual portion fillets) on the foil in the baking dish or on the sheet, brush the fillet or fillets with the honey butter mixture.
Sprinkle with a good amount of sea salt and black pepper.
Fold the foil over the fillet and seal completely, raise up the edges so it does not leak.
Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through. Carefully open the foil, use mitts as the steam will be very hot, and fold the foil back to expose the the fillet or fillets. Broil for a few minutes until the fillet is nicely caramelized on the top.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon/lime slices as desired.

Notes

I will price this when I get 4 individual serving fillets from Tesco, for now I will say High cost per serving.
