- 2 teaspoons Cajun/Creole seasoning
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Mix the brown sugar and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl.
- Lightly salt both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the brown sugar mixture on top of each piece of salmon.
- Gently rub the mixture all over both sides of the salmon until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet.
