Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the honey and Cajun seasoning until well combined.
- Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and brush them with the Cajun honey butter mixture. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and enjoy your flavorful creation!
Notes
Using high-quality butter will enhance the flavor. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to prevent steaming the salmon. Marinate the salmon for 30 minutes in the honey-Cajun mixture for deeper flavor.
