Ingredients
- 2 Skinless salmon filets (we've used salmon with skin on, it's ok, but messy to remove at serving time).
- Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (I'm sure any Cajun or Creole seasoning will work)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon butter
Instructions
-
Lightly (do not put too much seasoning on!) sprinkle the surface of ONE side of each of the salmon filets.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is very hot (but not smoking), place the salmon in SEASONING SIDE DOWN. It should sizzle.
-
After 3-4 minutes (depending on thickness of filets), carefully turn salmon over; continue cooking. After 2-3 minutes (when salmon is right on the verge of being done, add the butter to the pan.
-
Once the butter is melted, continually spoon up the melted butter and pour over tops of salmon. Continue to "baste" the salmon with butter for a couple of minutes. Remove salmon from skillet and serve!
