What is it about salmon that makes it such and elegant dinner? Is it the gorgeous color, succulent rich flavor, or simply that I live in a landlocked state where seafood is always considered fancy!?! Whatever it is, can I just say that I love salmon in all it’s juicy deliciousness. It’s also a major bonus that you can cook this gorgeous fillet in just 5 minutes, wait… what?, it’s really is just 5 minutes! But if for some reason you’re like several of my friends and family members, and you don’t like any kind of fish or seafood, (how is this possible) this glaze is super versatile and works with chicken or shrimp as well, (but that’s assuming you like shrimp). Whichever meat you choose, you’re going to love this Cajun Honey Glaze. And I guess I shouldn’t just limit this to meat, because I’ve used this glaze on veggies as well which is so good. You can mix the glaze up in just a couple minutes, with 5 more minutes in the oven, you’ll have dinner. Since this comes together so fast, you definitely want to have your side dishes ready to go before you start cooking the salmon.
I served this flavorful salmon with a simple chopped salad full of the best summer veggies, straight out of the garden. But I thought I’d also include a few options for every season:
Once you have your season of side dish ready to go, mix up the glaze in a small bowl.
Rinse the salmon fillet, pat it dry, and place it on a parchment lined baking sheet – then slather it with the glaze.
Then it’s just a few minutes under the broiler, and it’s done.
Then pile on the veggies, grab a piece of sweet spicy salmon, and enjoy the easiest company worthy dinner you’ve ever made! No reviews
