KETO RECIPE: Cajun Butter Baked Salmon

A big old cookie sheet full of salmon and flavor packed cajun butter is a recipe you will want to make over and over again! My daughter and I LOVE salmon, so so so much and this one is a winner. It’s a great dish when you have guests over because you can cook for a crowd quickly and only get 1 pan dirty.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES 4 HUNGRY PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE, BUT WE REALLY LOVE SALMON:)

  • 2 lemons, sliced into rounds

  • 1 large salmon fillet (about 3 lbs.)

  • Salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 tbsp. melted butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp. whole-grain mustard

  • 2 tsp. Cajun seasoning

  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves

  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes 

  • Thinly sliced green onions, for serving

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with foil. Lay lemon rounds in an even layer in center of pan. Place salmon on top and season with salt and pepper.

  2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, mustard, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Brush all over salmon.
