Broiled cajun salmon meal prep for the week in minutes! #mealprep #recipe #seafood
Ingredients
- Salmon3 lb
- Olive oil3 tbsp
- Cajun seasoning1 ½ tbsp
- Honey1 tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler to 450°F (232°C). Position the rack at least 10 inches from the broiler element.
- Mix the olive oil mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning and honey in a bowl to make the rub.
- Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan and pat the surface dry with paper towels.
- Spread the rub evenly over the salmon. If you like, sprinkle sea salt and black pepper on top.
- Broil for 15 minutes, turning the pan around after 8 minutes so the salmon cooks evenly. Adjust the time for thickness and whether the fish was chilled before broiling.
- Cook until the salmon reaches your preferred doneness. White albumin on the surface usually means it is overcooked.
- Rest the salmon for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
