Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Honey Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, honey, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well blended.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet.
Apply the Honey Butter
Spread the honey butter mixture generously over the top of the salmon fillets.
Bake the Salmon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Broil for Finish (Optional)
For a caramelized top, switch to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Serve
Remove the salmon from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
