How to Make Cajun Salmon

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Rinse a 1-pound salmon fillet and pat it completely dry with paper towels. This helps it crisp up nicely.
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto a baking sheet.
  4. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle another 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
  5. Generously sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning over the salmon. Adjust to your preferred spice level.
  6. Broil for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
