Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature, see note 1
- 3 tablespoons honey
cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons paprika smoked paprika, if you have it
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper or 1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a small bowl stir together cajun seasoning ingredients.
- Use an electric hand mixer to whip butter for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add honey and cream together until smooth. Mix in 1 tablespoon of the cajun seasoning. (remaining seasoning can be stored in airtight container up to 3 months)
- Pat salmon fillets dry on both sides with a paper towel. Rub all over with oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook salmon on a preheated grill or grill pan for 6-8 minutes on each side until opaque and flaky.
- Turn off the grill (or stove if using a grill pan) and place a generous dollop of cajun honey butter on top of each fillet.
- Allow to melt for about 30 seconds, then use the back of a spoon to spread the butter all over the the top of the salmon. Flip, and repeat on the other side.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- If using salted butter, do not salt the salmon in step three.
