Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

3️⃣ Glaze and Bake: Spoon the honey butter mixture over the salmon fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4️⃣ Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy with your favorite sides for a deliciously sweet and spicy meal.
