Cajun Salmon

Ingredients

• 2-3 salmon fillets skin on (about 1 lb.)
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 tbsp. butter divided
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1/2 cup white wine your favorite kind
• 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. Cajun seasoning or to taste
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
2. Heat the oil in a medium, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillets flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.
3. To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook for about 5 minutes, until it is reduced by more than half.
4. Stir in the remaining butter, parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of Cajun seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Return the salmon to the pan, and cook for another 2-3 minutes
