Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

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

Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, toss the salmon bites with olive oil until evenly coated, then sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the salmon. Mix gently to ensure all pieces are well-seasoned.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking.
  3. Bake the Salmon Bites: Arrange the seasoned salmon pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque, flaky, and easily breaks apart with a fork.
  4. Serve: Remove from the oven and let the salmon bites rest for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy these spicy salmon bites as appetizers, snacks, or with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your spice preference.
  • Use fresh salmon for best flavor and texture.
  • Serve with a cooling dip like ranch or tartar sauce to balance the spice.
