Cajun Salmon

Equipment

  • oven
  • meat thermometer

Ingredients

The spice ratios is what matters, the exact amount does not. This was a copy / paste from another recipe and I just use vibes.

  • 3 tbsp paprika (I prefer smoked paprika)
  • 2 tbsp fine kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp ground white pepper
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp cayenne
  • ½ tbsp dried thyme
  • any cooking oil (I use olive)
  • salmon fillet
  • lemon juice

Steps

  1. Mix all spices & oil in a bowl
  2. Make sure salmon is bone free and cut into fillets
  3. Put the salmon in the marinade and let it sit for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Make sure to cover all pieces
  4. Preheat oven to 375
  5. Cook salmon in the oven for ~15 minutes and check on it. Your goal is to have the internal temperature of the salmon to 145F
  6. Take it out of the oven when it is 145F internal. While cooling, pour a generous amount of lemon juice over it. Enjoy!
