Cajun Honey Butter Salmon
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, honey, garlic, lemon juice, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the honey butter mixture.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
