Cajun Salmon

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, salt, and olive oil to create a marinade. Rub this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Salmon

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the salmon from the skillet and drizzle with fresh lemon juice just before serving.
