Creamy Cajun Salmon

Ingredients:

4 salmon filets
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning divided
2 tablespoons butter
½ yellow onion diced
1 green bell pepper diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup heavy cream
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:

Pat the salmon dry and drizzle with olive oil. Season with 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning and rub it in to coat the salmon.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the salmon skin side down. Cook until the skin is crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip salmon and cook for 3 more minutes or until salmon is cooked through.

Remove the salmon to a plate and set aside.

Add the butter to the skillet and melt.

Add the onion and pepper to the skillet and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Stir to coat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Add the heavy cream to the pan and whisk, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken over low heat.

Return the salmon to the skillet and coat with the sauce.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
