Cajun Honey Butter Salmon

1. Cajun Honey Butter Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in honey, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
4. Brush the honey butter mixture generously over the salmon fillets.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
