Salmon New Orleans



  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 8 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Cajun seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • heaping ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1.     In a small bowl stir together all cajun seasoning ingredients and set aside.

2.     Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add honey and whisk to combine (mixture should be bubbly). Add salmon fillets to pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook another 7-8 minutes until salmon is cooked through, flaky, and browned. Transfer salmon to a platter and cover to keep warm.

3.     Add remaining butter to the pan over medium-high heat. Once butter is melted, stir in cajun seasoning. Add shrimp to pan and saute until opaque, about 5-6 minutes.

4.     Serve salmon topped with shrimp. Drizzle any extra pan sauce over the top and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

                                                                           This is so good!
I have made this with all sorts of fish and seafood.
