Cajun Baked Salmon Bites
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!

Preheat the oven to 240°C/460°F (220°C fan-forced).
5
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!
6
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).
7
Bake ⏱️ 12 minutes (don't turn). Remove salmon from the tray (so they don't keep cooking) then enjoy!
