Instructions

Creating Baked Cajun Salmon is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the Cajun marinade generously over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
5. Check for Doneness: For perfectly cooked salmon, it should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. Garnish: Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
