Instructions
Step 1: Season the Salmon and Shrimp
- In a small bowl, mix all the Cajun seasoning ingredients together.
- Generously coat the salmon fillets and shrimp with the seasoning. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 2: Sear the Salmon
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy.
- Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
- In the same pan, add butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
- Drizzle in the honey and lemon juice for a sweet and tangy contrast.
Step 4: Create the Sauce
- Pour in chicken broth (or seafood broth) to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits.
- Toss in cherry tomatoes and let simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
- Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
- Enjoy over rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables!
