This Citrus Cajun Glazed Salmon recipe offers a delightful balance of sweet and spicy flavors, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Check the salmon fillets for any pin bones and remove them if present.
Run your fingers along the flesh of the salmon to feel for any bones, and use tweezers to remove them.
In a small bowl, mix the Cajun spice, brown sugar, and kosher salt.
Ensure the spices are evenly combined for consistent flavor.
Rub the seasoning mixture over all surfaces of the salmon fillets.
Press the seasoning gently into the fish to help it adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the salmon to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side.
Do not move the salmon while it cooks to allow a crust to form.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Use a spatula to carefully flip the salmon to avoid breaking it.
Combine the orange marmalade and lime juice in the skillet, swirling to melt and blend.
Stir the glaze gently to ensure it doesn't burn.
Turn the salmon fillets in the glaze to coat all sides evenly.
Spoon the glaze over the salmon for extra coverage.
Check if the salmon is done by testing if it flakes easily with a fork.
Cooked salmon should be opaque and flake easily.
Serve the glazed salmon with lime wedges on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
