Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Make sure the salmon doesn't have extra moisture. If using frozen salmon, defrost it completely and get rid of any extra moisture. Prepare salmon by patting it dry with paper towels.
Grease the bottom of the baking dish with butter. Add salmon fillets skin side down.
Sprinkle the salmon with salt and minced garlic on top and around. Add thin slices of butter on top of each salmon fillet.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium, high-sided bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice, and ¼ cup of fig spread. Mix everything well. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste.
Spread the glaze over each salmon fillet.
Return the salmon to the oven for about 2 or 5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your likeness.
