Ingredients

For the Salmon:

1 1/2 pounds fresh salmon fillets (6 to 8 pieces)
3 tablespoons blackening seasoning

For the Spiced Honey Lime Sauce:

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

Cooking Grease:

2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat grill to 400 degrees F.
Prepare the Blackening Seasoning Blend, if you have not done so already. You can find the recipe here. It is the exact recipe used on the salmon you see in the photo.
Pat the salmon dry with clean paper towels and generously coat each side of the salmon fillets with the blackening seasoning. Set the fillets aside to rest.
Next, add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk them together until well combined and set aside.
Prepare the cooking grease by melting the butter in the microwave. Add the olive oil and stir to combine.
Brush the cooking grease mixture liberally onto the preheated grill grate.
Place the salmon fillets onto the grill, skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes. Do not disturb.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets over and cook for 3 more minutes.
Remove from grill, plate and drizzle over the spiced honey lime sauce.
