Honey Garlic Butter Baked Salmon

I have made this recipe dozens of times and it always turns out perfectly. It’s a perfect dish to serve guests as it’s easy but looks impressive! I love serving salmon as a great alternative to the usual chicken and beef dinners as there are so many nutritional benefits. The honey garlic butter topper takes boring salmon to the next level & really brings out the richness – making it the perfect match for a chilled glass of our Estate Bottled Pinot Grigio. During the cooler months, I have been baking this dish but can’t wait to try it on the BBQ too.

Pairs beautifully with the Estate Bottled Pinot Grigio.
