Equipment

  • Small Baking Sheet

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • ½ lb Sockeye salmon skin on
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning homemade or store-bought

Serving:

  • Fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish, if desired
  • Lemon wedges
  • Tartar sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat the salmon very dry with paper towels then place on the prepared baking sheet skin side down.
  • Season the salmon by drizzling the olive oil evenly over the top of the salmon then finish by sprinkling the Cajun seasoning evenly over it.
  • Bake the salmon by placing it in the oven to bake for 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the salmon flakes and separates easily with a fork.  Side Note: My salmon was very thin so it only took 5 minutes, but thicker pieces may take up to 8-10 minutes.
  • Top with chopped fresh parsley, then serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce. Enjoy.
