I have a few confessions to make: 1) I made this recipe with frozen salmon fillets instead of fresh because I wanted to use them up. 2) I didn’t have any onion powder or garlic powder around so I just used grill seasoning instead. 3) I’ve never cooked anything Cajun-style before. 4) Despite all the bad omens, this salmon was delicious. I tried out something new and I’m so glad it worked. I looked up some Cajun spice blends online and ended up making my own using the ingredients I had on hand and some innovative thinking. I think the blend came out great and I would definitely make this again. The fish fillets were frozen, so they came out a bit dry. But the good news is that the spice blend formed a crust around the fillets and locked in what little moisture they did have. This was a pretty satisfying dinner with some rice on the side.
