This Cajun Honey Butter Salmon is a perfect balance of spicy and sweet with a buttery richness. It’s quick, easy, and packed with flavour—ideal for a cosy weeknight dinner or an impressive weekend meal.
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges for serving
Directions:
Season the Salmon:
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub Cajun seasoning all over each fillet, making sure they are well-coated.
Sear the Salmon:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down (if applicable), and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until they develop a nice crust and are cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.
Make the Honey Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter, honey, garlic, and lemon juice. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the sauce is well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Glaze the Salmon:
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spoon the honey butter sauce over them, and cook for another minute to let the flavours meld.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra pop of flavour!
