Recipe: Baked Cajun Salmon [Keto Friendly]
This salmon recipe is one of my favorite go-to meals on Sundays. There’s a nice cajun cream sauce to add if you like. I usually serve the salmon with creamy cajun alfredo pasta and sautéed cabbage or roasted asparagus. Plus if there are leftovers, I like to use the fish to make salmon croquettes!
