  • Coat salmon in lemon and lime juice and place on a baking sheet.
  • Combine garlic, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, and paprika in a small bowl.
  • Heat honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbling. Add garlic mixture and cognac. Simmer until flavors combine and sauce starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Let cool until thick, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Coat salmon in olive oil; season with pink salt and pepper.
  • Broil salmon for 6 to 8 minutes. Spoon the cognac-honey sauce over the salmon. Continue broiling until light brown on top and fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes.
