Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your final dish. Make sure to use fresh, flavorful fish, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing salmon, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will result in steamed fish instead of seared fish.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet is the best choice for searing salmon. It will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side: This is the ideal amount of time to sear salmon so that it is cooked through without overcooking it.
  • Make sure the Cajun mayo sauce is well combined: The Cajun mayo sauce should be smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or milk to thin it out.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Cajun-seared salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the fish is hot and crispy and the Cajun mayo sauce is still warm and melted.

Conclusion:

Cajun-seared salmon with Cajun mayo sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is seared until crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the Cajun mayo sauce is the perfect complement to the fish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
