Instructions

Step 1

Pat dry the salmon and then rub with olive oil. Season with pepper.

Step 2

Beat butter for 2 minutes using an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy. Blend honey and butter in a blender until smooth. Blend in 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning.

Step 3

Cook salmon for 6-8 minutes on each side on a preheated grill or grill pan, or until opaque and crusty.

Step 4

Spread a generous amount of Cajun Honey Butter over each slice after turning off the grill (or stove if you’re using a grill pan).

Step 5

Allow the butter to melt for 30 seconds, then spread it over the salmon using the back of a spoon. Turn it over and do the same on the other side.

Step 6

If you prefer, garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.
