Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized cubes

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  2. Season the Salmon: In a mixing bowl, drizzle the salmon bites with olive oil. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the salmon. Gently toss the pieces until each bite is well coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the salmon bites evenly.
  4. 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 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Remove the salmon bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a standalone appetizer or with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your spice preference.
  • Baking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the salmon cubes and your oven.
  • Serve with a side of lemon wedges or a creamy dipping sauce like ranch or tzatziki for added flavor.
