Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound center cut salmon
- 1 Tablespoon Cajun seasoning divided
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together half of the Cajun seasoning and half of the olive oil.
- Cut salmon into 4 single-serving filets.
- Rub oil mixture all over both sides of the filets.
- Add remaining olive oil to skillet and heat on medium-high until shimmering.
- Place filets in skillet, skin side down. Sprinkle with remaining Cajun seasoning.
- Cook, skin side down, for 2-3 minutes, then turn over. You will see the side of the salmon will begin to change color.
- Cook 2-3 minutes then turn over again and cook 1 minute more then remove from pan.
Notes
- Always cut salmon into filets while it’s still raw. Cutting salmon once cooked is difficult because the fish will flake and you won’t get clean lines.
- Store any leftovers in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven set to 275F on a foil-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
