Main Ingredients

2 salmon salmon fillets

Cajun seasoning

½ tbsp paprika powder
½ tbsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp cayenne powder
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp thyme
½ tsp onion powder

Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce

1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
3 tbsp butter
½ tsp oregano

Instructions

Prepare the Cajun Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine paprika powder, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne powder, oregano, thyme, and onion powder.
Season the Salmon: Rub the Cajun mix generously over both sides of the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Sear the Salmon: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in Parmesan and oregano, allowing the cheese to melt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve and Enjoy: Place the Cajun-spiced salmon on a serving plate and generously drizzle the Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
