Baked Cajun Salmon is a vibrant dish inspired by the bold flavors of Southern Cajun cuisine. This recipe features fresh salmon fillets marinated in a zesty Cajun spice blend, which typically includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, thyme, and oregano. The fillets are baked to perfection, resulting in a tender interior and a flavorful, slightly crispy crust. Salmon is a nutrient-dense fish, rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health and brain function. It’s also an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamin B12, and selenium. Baking the salmon keeps the preparation lower in fat compared to frying, making it a healthier choice. While the Cajun seasoning adds minimal calories, it does include salt, so individuals watching their sodium intake should adjust accordingly. Perfect for a balanced meal, pair this dish with steamed vegetables or whole grains for added fiber and nutrients.
