1. Season the Salmon:
In a small bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Drizzle with olive oil and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
2. Make the Honey Butter Glaze:
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
Stir in honey, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until combined.
3. Cook the Salmon:
Pan-Seared Method:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and flaky.
In the last minute of cooking, pour the honey butter glaze over the salmon and baste until coated.
Oven-Baked Method:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place seasoned salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Brush honey butter glaze over the salmon in the last 5 minutes of baking.
4. Serve & Enjoy:
Drizzle extra honey butter over the salmon before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve with rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
