Cajun Honey Butter Salmon
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets, skinless or with skin, salted and seasoned to taste
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions:
- Prepare the Salmon:
- Season the salmon fillets with salt, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Make sure the fillets are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Make the Honey Butter Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey and butter. Heat this mixture in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or until the butter is melted. Stir well to combine.
- Cook the Salmon:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the seasoned salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Glaze the Salmon:
- During the last minute of cooking, pour the honey butter sauce over the salmon fillets. Spoon the sauce over the salmon to coat it evenly.
- Serve:
- Transfer the Cajun Honey Butter Salmon to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
