Enemy Projectile is not flying in the right direction (needs to fly toward Player)

I am having trouble getting the enemy's projectile to fly from the enemy to the player's position. When I play the game, the enemy bullet projectiles fly off in one direction on the screen and not toward the player. I think the issue might be in how I am assigning direction to the projectile prefab? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class EnemyController : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float speed;
     public Rigidbody enemyRb;
     [SerializeField] float rateOfFire;
     private GameObject player;
     public GameObject projectilePrefab;
     float nextFireAllowed;
     public bool canFire;
     Transform enemyMuzzle;
 
 
     void Awake()
     {
         enemyRb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
         player = GameObject.Find("Player");
         enemyMuzzle = transform.Find("EnemyMuzzle");
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
        //move enemy rigidbody toward player
         Vector3 lookDirection = (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
         enemyRb.AddForce(lookDirection * speed);
 
         //overallSpeed
         Vector3 horizontalVelocity = enemyRb.velocity;
         horizontalVelocity = new Vector3(enemyRb.velocity.x, 0, enemyRb.velocity.z);
 
         // turns enemy to look at player
         transform.LookAt(player.transform);
 
         //launches projectile toward player
         projectilePrefab.transform.Translate(lookDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime);
         Instantiate(projectilePrefab, transform.position, projectilePrefab.transform.rotation);
 
     }
 
     public virtual void Fire()
     {
 
         canFire = false;
         if (Time.time < nextFireAllowed)
             return;
         nextFireAllowed = Time.time + rateOfFire;
 
         //instantiate the projectile;
 
         Instantiate(projectilePrefab, enemyMuzzle.position, enemyMuzzle.rotation);
 
         canFire = true;
     }
 }
