Cajun Honey-Butter "Cravin’" Salmon
-
Yields: 2 servings
-
Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 8–10 mins
Ingredients
-
1 tsp K&Co. Apothecary Cravin’ Cajun Seasoning
-
2 Salmon Fillets
-
2 tbsp Honey
-
1 tbsp Butter (melted)
-
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
-
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
-
The Apothecary Rub: Pat the salmon fillets dry. Rub the flesh side with olive oil, then sprinkle 1 tsp of Cravin’ Cajun evenly over the top. Press the spices into the meat to form a "crust."
-
The Sear: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon seasoned-side down first. Sear for 3–4 minutes until a dark, mahogany crust forms.
-
The Flip: Carefully flip the salmon to the skin side.
-
The Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter, honey, and lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the salmon in the pan.
-
Baste: As the honey bubbles and thickens, use a spoon to scoop the glaze over the fillets. The Cravin’ Cajun spices will bleed into the honey, creating a spicy, red-tinted syrup.
-
Serve: Remove once the salmon is flaky. Pour the remaining pan glaze over the top before serving.
