Blackened Cajun Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce
Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon fillet enriched with bold Cajun spices and finished with a zesty, velvety lemon butter sauce. The combination creates an eruption of smoky, spicy, and tangy flavors that is simply irresistible.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil and evenly coat both sides with the Cajun spice blend, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a dark crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through but still moist.
In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice and allow the sauce to warm through, releasing its tangy aroma.
Plate the salmon and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bold, vibrant flavors.
