Recipe video above. Cajun Baked Salmon Bites is just a really tasty, no-fuss way to cook salmon, fast (12 minutes!). Cut into cubes so the Cajun flavour hits every bite, then bake in a hot oven so it browns without overcooking the inside. No stove splatter, yay!You'll love the crinkled foil tray lining used here - it's a nifty Japanese fish-baking tip. Crinkled foil = no sticking, no soggy underside on the salmon, plus less washing up (no rack). YAY!Serve with whatever your heart desires - stuffed into tacos, make rice bowls, add to salads, eat off the tray. You just can't go wrong!
View original recipe on recipetineats.comCoat salmon with Cajun seasoning, bake on crumpled foil 12 minutes at 240°C/460°F (220°C fan-forced) until lightly browned. Enjoy!
Preheat the oven to 240°C/460°F (220°C fan-forced).
Crinkled foil trick - 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 - clever Japanese fish-cooking trick!
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).
Bake 12 minutes (don't turn). Remove salmon from the tray (so they don't keep cooking) then enjoy!
