Ingredients

Salmon:

  • 4 Salmon Filets
  • 1 tbsp of Canola Oil
  • Lemon Slices for garnish
  • Chopped Parsley for garnish

Simple Cajun Seasoning:

  • 2.5 tsp of Kosher Salt
  • 2 tsp of Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp of Smoked Paprika
  • 1.5 tsp of Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp of Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp of Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp of Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp of Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp of Cayenne Powder

Hot Honey Cream Sauce:

  • 1.5 oz of Bourbon
  • ½ cup of Heavy Cream
  • 1 tbsp of Spicy Dijon Mustard
  • 2.5 tsp of Honey
  • 1.5 tsp of Hot Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your Oklahoma Joe’s Highland grill to high heat (around 400F).
  • Mix together the Simple Cajun Seasoning (setting aside 1-2 tsp of seasoning for later), lather your salmon with some canola oil and season all sides of the salmon. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet over the fire with some canola oil for 1 minute.
  • Add your salmon in, skin side up, to cook for 2-2.5 minutes.
  • Flip the salmon over to the skin side and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is 140-145F internal.
  • When the salmon is done, pull it off and keep it warm.
  • With the fire at a medium temperature (around 350F), add the skillet back making sure to discard any excess oil.
  • Then, deglaze with the bourbon.
  • Next, add the heavy cream, dijon mustard, honey and hot sauce. Stir frequently and let the sauce simmer until it has thickened to your desired liking (about 5-8 minutes).
  • Once done, pull the skillet off the heat.
  • Add your salmon back to the sauce topping with lemon slices, chopped parsley and a dusting of the cajun seasoning. Serve and enjoy!
