Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix softened butter, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Pat fillets dry with paper towels. Rub Cajun seasoning on both sides, pressing gently to help it stick.
  • Warm a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add a bit of butter to the skillet or oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • Place salmon skin-side down and cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until the skin is crisp and sides start to turn opaque.
  • Turn the salmon and brush generously with honey butter. Cook another 4–5 minutes, until the fish flakes easily and stays juicy.
  • Transfer to plates, spoon on extra honey butter, top with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
