- Salt and Black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp of Olive oil
- ¼ cup of unsalted Butter
- 3 tbsp of Honey
- 2 cloves of minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp of Lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle them evenly with the Creole, or Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down (if skin-on), and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice sear.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
- Once the butter is melted, stir in the honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Turn off the heat and return the cooked salmon to the skillet and spoon the garlic honey butter sauce over the fillets, coating them well.
