Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets thawed
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to broil.
  • Pat dry salmon filets and place in a baking dish, skin side down.

  • Sprinkle the salmon with an even layer of the Cajun seasoning.

Notes

You can always use different seasonings if Cajun seasoning is too spicy for you. Play around with the method and make it your own.
If you like a crispy skin, flip it over and broil for a couple of minutes.
