Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Atlantic salmon (roughly four 4-ounce fillets)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for even cooking.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
  4. Drizzle honey over each fillet, allowing it to seep into the spices.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove from oven, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm with your choice of sides.

Notes

  • For a zesty kick, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving.
  • Use fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor.
  • Pair with seasonal veggies like asparagus for a complete meal.
