Upstreet BBQ's Honey Cajun Salmon
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) Atlantic salmon, fileted
2 tsp (10 mL) olive oil
2 tsp (10 mL) Cajun spice seasoning
2 tsp (10 mL) honey
Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp (5 mL) onion powder
1 tsp (5 mL) garlic powder
1 tsp (5 mL) sea salt
1 tsp (5 mL) paprika
1 tsp (5 mL) ground black pepper
1 tsp (5 mL) cayenne pepper
1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano
1 tsp (5 mL) dried thyme
1 tsp (5 mL) red pepper flakes
Directions
To make Cajun Seasoning, combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well blended. Store seasoning in an airtight container or jar in a cool, dry place.
To prepare salmon, heat oven to 400F/205C degrees.
Rub olive oil over the top of salmon and liberally coat it in Cajun seasoning.
Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add the salmon, flesh-side down, and sear until golden brown — about 30 seconds to a minute. Flip over and place into the oven.
Bake until the fish flakes easily, for about 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Drizzle with honey.
