Contrary to how it sounds, adding cilantro on Salmon, the honey really balances it out and the overall flavor is just so, well....flavorful! If you are not a cilantro fan, this recipe is still good without it.

Ingredients:
-1 lb salmon
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-salt and pepper
-2 tablespoons honey
-1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
-2 tablespoons cilantro , fresh, chopped
-3 garlic cloves minced
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 F.
Step 2: Pat the salmon dry. Brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil from all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on a large piece of foil. Fold foil sides and ends up (1 or 2 inches high) tightly around the salmon. Place the salmon in foil on a baking sheet.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine honey, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and garlic. Mix to combine. Spread this mixture over the salmon.
Step 4: Do not cover salmon with foil, leave it open (with foil sides up) and bake it just like that, at 400 F for 15-20 minutes.
Step 5: Carefully remove salmon from foil, separating the salmon from the skin which will remain stuck to the foil. Place the salmon onto a serving plate. Carefully scoop the sauce from around the salmon and pour over the salmon.
