Cajun Honey Butter Salmon


  • Author: Stacy FIECHTER

Description

A perfectly seared salmon dish with bold Cajun spices, balanced by a sweet and buttery honey glaze, finished with a fresh herb garnish. A quick, gourmet meal that’s ideal for any occasion.


Ingredients

• Salmon fillets (skin-on recommended)
• Cajun seasoning
• Unsalted butter
• Honey
• Garlic, minced
• Lemon juice
• Fresh parsley, chopped


Instructions

1️⃣ Pat the salmon fillets dry and season generously with Cajun seasoning on both sides. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
2️⃣ Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
3️⃣ In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes.
4️⃣ Pour the honey butter glaze over the salmon in the skillet. Lower the heat and let it simmer, coating the fillets, until the glaze thickens slightly.
5️⃣ Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy the sweet, spicy, and savory perfection!
