A delightful salmon dish with a tangy honey lime glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the salmon inside for even cooking.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, light brown sugar, and sea salt.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even coating on the salmon.
Place the salmon fillets in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before placing it in the dish for better spice adherence.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Use your hands to gently press the spices into the salmon for a more flavorful crust.
In another small bowl, mix the honey and the juice of one lime.
Warm the honey slightly if it's too thick to mix easily.
Drizzle the honey lime glaze over the salmon fillets.
Reserve a small amount of glaze to drizzle over the salmon after baking for extra flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon at the 12-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Garnish the baked salmon with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the salmon immediately for the best taste and texture.
