This Cajun Honey Butter Grilled Salmon features tender, flaky salmon fillets seasoned with a spicy Cajun rub and glazed with a sweet honey butter, perfect for a flavorful and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat, then whisk in honey until well combined. Remove from heat.
  4. Brush the salmon with olive oil and place on the grill skin-side down.
  5. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly charred.
  6. During the last minute of grilling, brush the honey butter glaze generously over the salmon fillets.
  7. Remove salmon from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, try grilling over wood chips or serve with a side of grilled vegetables or rice pilaf.
