Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets skin on
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning divided
1 tbsp olive oil
Garlic Butter Sauce
3 tbsp butter divided
3 garlic cloves minced
½ cup white wine
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Step 1
Pat dry salmon fillets with a clean paper towel. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a medium, non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon flesh-side down. Sear untouched for 3-4 minutes, then flip on the other side and cook for 2-3 more minutes or until it looks crispy and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
To make the garlic butter sauce, using the same pan add 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour the white wine and bring it to a boil.
Step 4
Add in the remaining butter, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and Cajun seasoning. Simmer until it starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Bring the salmon back to the pan, pour a few tablespoons of garlic butter over each salmon fillet. Serve immediately, drizzle with garlic butter sauce and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
