- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl stir together all cajun seasoning ingredients and set aside.
- Step 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).
