By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 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
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• heaping 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl stir together all cajun seasoning ingredients and set aside.
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.
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.
Serve salmon topped with shrimp. Drizzle any extra pan sauce over the top and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
