Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the fillets and generously coat them with Cajun seasoning and salt to taste.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until hot. Carefully add the salmon fillets skin-side up to the skillet, searing for 3 minutes.
- Flip the fillets over and reduce the heat slightly, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until they are just cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, stirring gently. Mix in the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice, which will brighten the sauce's flavor.
- Pour the honey butter sauce over the seared salmon in the skillet and continue cooking on medium heat for another 3-5 minutes.
- Once the salmon is perfectly cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and sprinkle black sesame seeds.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
