ABBREVIATED

Coat salmon with Cajun seasoning, bake on crumpled foil 12 minutes at 240°C/460°F (220°C fan-forced) until lightly browned. Enjoy!

FULL RECIPE:

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!
