  • Line the salmon fillets onto a towel and pat them dry to remove moisture.
    4 salmon fillets
  • Set the oven to a low broil and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the salmon fillets onto it. Stir the butter mixture and evenly coat the fillets.
  • Broil uncovered for 7-10 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (51°C).
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • While I usually prefer compound butter for recipes, I find that melting the butter and combining it with the honey and Cajun Seasoning distributes more evenly on the salmon fillets.
  • Pat dry the salmon before coating the fillets. The excess moisture causes the fish to steam rather than broil.
  • Overcooked salmon can be dry and tough, so keep a close eye on it as it cooks. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon; this is the best way to ensure you don’t overcook the fish. The recommended cooking temperature for salmon is 125°F (51°C).
