Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Place the salmon in a shallow glass baking dish and coat it with the honey mixture.

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven, uncovered, until it flakes easily with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center reads 63°C (145°F), for 15 to 20 minutes.
