Cajun Honey Butter Salmon Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:

• Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.

2. Cook the Salmon:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Honey Butter Sauce:

• In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the butter, honey, and lemon juice. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined.

4. Combine:

• Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the honey butter sauce over the fillets. Let it simmer for an additional minute to glaze the salmon.

5. Serve:

• Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
