Ingredients:
| 4-6 ounces | salmon fillets |
| salt and pepper, to taste | |
| 1 pound | large shrimp, peeled and de-veined |
| 8 tablespoons | butter, divided |
| 2 tablespoons | honey |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 teaspoon | garlic powder |
| 1 teaspoon | paprika |
| 1/4 teaspoon | pepper |
| 1/2 teaspoon | onion salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | cayenne pepper |
| 1/2 teaspoon | heaping dried oregano |
| 1/4 teaspoon | crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
In a small bowl stir together all cajun seasoning ingredients and set aside.
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). Add salmon fillets to pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook another 7-8 minutes until salmon is cooked through, flaky, and browned. Transfer salmon to a platter and cover to keep warm.
Add remaining butter to the pan over medium-high heat. Once butter is melted, stir in cajun seasoning. Add shrimp to pan and saute until opaque, about 5-6 minutes.
Serve salmon topped with shrimp. Drizzle any extra pan sauce over the top and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
