Ingredients
Salmon Fillets
4 Salmon Fillets Skinless, cut into 2.5cm (1") cubes, 600 - 700g (1.2 - 1.4lb) total
Cajun Spice Mix (Note 1):
Paprika
2 teaspoon tsp Paprika Regular or sweet, smoked also works well
Salt
0.75 teaspoon tsp Salt Cooking or kosher salt; halve if using table salt, increase by 50% if using flakes
Onion Powder
1 teaspoon tsp Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon tsp Garlic Powder Do not substitute with fresh garlic as it will burn
Dried Thyme
0.25 teaspoon tsp Dried Thyme
Black Pepper
0.25 teaspoon tsp Black Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
0.25 teaspoon tsp Cayenne Pepper Optional for slight spiciness
Brown Sugar
2.5 teaspoon tsp Brown Sugar Tightly pack the teaspoons
Olive Oil
2 tablespoon tbsp Olive Oil

Equipment

Instructions
1
Coat salmon with Cajun seasoning, bake on crumpled foil 12 minutes at 240°C/460°F (220°C fan-forced) until lightly browned. Enjoy!
2
Preheat the oven to 240°C/460°F (220°C fan-forced).
3
Lightly scrunch up foil, then gently unfold it so it stays wrinkled. Lots of little pointy bits = good! Place on the tray and fold the edges to secure, repeat with another sheet to cover the whole tray. The wrinkles lift the fish slightly, preventing sticking and soggy undersides.
4
Coat salmon
Put the Cajun Spice mix ingredients in a bowl and mix. Add salmon and toss to coat. Spread on the foil (the more spaced out they are, the better they colour).
5
Bake 12 minutes (don't turn). Remove salmon from the tray (so they don't keep cooking) then enjoy!
6
For Cajun Salmon Rice Bowls pictured:
Rice, lettuce, tomato, radish, avocado, Cajun salmon bites.
7
Rice, Cajun salmon bites, roasted corn avocado salsa - made at the same time as the salmon.
8
Sauces and garnishes for both bowls
Peri-naise or leftover pink Gyros sauce (or just kewpie/regular mayo mixed with sriracha or ketchup), chopped coriander or green onion.
