Maple Cajun Salmon

• 1 kg Salmon fillet 
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
• 1 Tbsp The Friendly Food Co. For Every O’Cajun seasoning
• ¼ cup maple syrup 
• 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)

Herby Dressing

• Large handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped 
• Large handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped 
• 2 Tbsp capers, chopped 
• 3 Tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped 
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper to season

1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees C 
2. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and place the salmon, skin side down, on a piece of aluminum tin foil on a baking tray. Fold the edges of the foil up around the salmon so the sauce doesn’t spill out everywhere.
3. Combine the oil, cajun seasoning, maple syrup, lemon juice and zest in a bowl. Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the top of the salmon and rub over the surface of the salmon. 
4. Bake for 15 minutes 
5. Mix the parsley, coriander, capers, chives, oil and vinegar together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. 
6. Remove salmon from the oven and place on a serving platter. Let it cool slightly before  pouring the herby dressing over the top of the salmon to serve.
