Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (skin on)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

• Salt (to taste)

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Juice of ½ lemon

• Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

• Black sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with olive oil and season generously with Cajun seasoning and a bit of salt.

2. Sear the Salmon: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side up, and sear for about 3 minutes until they form a nice crust. Flip the salmon over so the skin side is down and cook for another 2 minutes.

3. Make the Honey Butter Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat and squeeze in the lemon juice.

4. Combine and Finish Cooking: Pour the honey butter sauce over the salmon fillets. Continue to cook the salmon, regularly spooning the sauce over it, for another 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

5. Garnish and Serve: Once the salmon is done, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, lemon wedges, and sprinkle black sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
