Ingredients
- 2 fillets Salmon fillets
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp Paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- Salt Add only if needed as cajun seasoning contains salt
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
Garnish
- 3 sprigs Spring onion
Instructions
- Wash the fillet in cold water quickly and pat dry with paper towel if needed.
- Apply paprika powder, turmeric powder and salt on the fillets and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Into an aluminum foil -10inch X10 inch (or more ) place one marinated fish fillet sprinkle about 1 tsp of cajun seasoning on top. Keep a slice of butter on top and fold the edges of the aluminum foil into a flat packet. As seen in step pic. Remember to lift the sides so the sauces do not escape due to the pressure of the steam. Repeat for each packet
- Bake the fillets on a baking tray at 375 ° to 390 °F. For 15 to 20 minutes. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes outside then serve immediately with salads or greens of your choice. NOTE : Cut the top of the packet with scissors and garnish with fresh herbs (spring onion)only at the dining table for the person dining to see the steam and experience the aromas.
Notes
- Remember to lift the sides of the foil so the sauces do not escape due to the pressure of the steam
- Serve the salmon in the foil so the butter and the spice sauce stays in the foil as seen in pics here for best results. Instead of opening all the folded edges use a scissors and open just the top half of the packet.
- Caution : It is steaming hot inside the packet enough to scald your fingers.
