Baking Tips
For extra crispiness, sear the salmon in a cast-iron skillet.
Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing the cayenne and red pepper flakes.
Bake instead: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes.
For a smoky finish, grill the salmon over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side.
Pair with dirty rice, garlic butter asparagus, or cornbread for a full Creole meal.

Instructions

01
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy sear.

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, and honey.
03
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, making sure to coat both sides well.
04
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to prevent sticking.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium doneness.

Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
