- ¼ cup Butter melted
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ tsp Cajun seasoning
- 5 cloves Garlic minced
Instructions
1. Season the Salmon:
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning (1 tbsp) all over the salmon, rubbing it in on both sides to make sure it’s packed with flavor. Set it aside and get ready to cook!

In the last minute of cooking, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour half of the Cajun honey butter over the salmon. Let it heat up and soak into the fish.
