Season the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon and rub it in evenly. Next, sprinkle the prepared Cajun seasoning over both sides of the salmon, pressing gently to adhere the spices.
Cooking

Cook the Salmon
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon fillet skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving it, then carefully flip it over. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
