Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces

Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon: Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into evenly sized bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the salmon: Place the salmon bites in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over the pieces, then gently toss to coat all the salmon bites thoroughly with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat for best results.
  4. Bake the salmon bites: Arrange the seasoned salmon bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, or pair with a fresh salad or dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overbake the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
  • Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your preferred spice level.
  • For an extra crispy exterior, broil the salmon bites for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Can be served with a creamy dip such as ranch or a squeeze of lemon for added flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
